Anybody using Accessibility Inspector that comes with Xcode 12?

Hello,

 

I am wondering whether someone using Accessibility Inspector that came with Xcode 12 (12A7209)?

I am able to run an audit of any application and  open the preview windows of a Issue (eye symbol) and the suggestions tooltip (question mark symbol), however as soon as I close them, accessibility inspector keeps crashing.
 

Steps to reproduce the crash
  1. Open Xcode

  2. Go to Xcode >  Open Developer Tools  > Accessibility nspector

  3. Select a target  device  (left upper corner) and if appropriate. select a  App to test

  4. Select the Audit Button (triangle with an exclamation mark in it, upper right corner

  5. Select the Run Audit button

  6. Waite  until the test are done and displayed

  7. Now select  either a eye or a question mark symbol

  8. Now try to close the opened window again.   

  9. Now  the accessibility Inspector get complete closed

Can anybody  confirm this  behaviour?

Information about Hardware and OS:

MacBook 15 inch, mid 2015, 16 GB RAM and macOS 10.15.6 on it.

Best
regrets

I am seeing the exact issue. There are so many crashes within Accessibility inspector. There are atleast 100 bugs in this app.s Its very frustrating to use. To get one successful element and its Xpath, you must re-launch Accessbility Inspector like 5 times. Please fix this ASAP. This is in the latest Catalina 10.15.7 as well.
I am also seeing this issue while running the Accessibility Inspector with the simulator on Xcode 12.0.1 and 10.15.6. It crashes frequently when I am trying to view element classes and really slows me down.
Still an issue in Xcode 12.1., Catalina 10.15.7. Accessibility Inspector crashes after 10-20 seconds.
My accessibility inspector is not highlighting any element and also crashes every 5-10 seconds. Xcode 12.0, Big Sir 11.1, Mac Pro 2013.
