Debug Preview problem

Using latest Xcode 12 & Big Sur releases.
In Chapter 3.2 under Debugging, ctrl-click on Preview play button is not working (i.e., menu containing Debug Preview does not appear). Any thoughts?

hi Tom, do you mean section 4.2?

it’s weird, ctrl-click doesn’t work for the preview button. I have my trackpad set up so tap-with-2-fingers is right-click, and that works.

set the option for secondary click

If I remember correctly, I was inadvertently reading the old version of the book at the time. At any rate, I just tried ctrl-clicking on the Preview button again, and it does not work. Nothing I do causes that menu to appear.

Audrey, I figured out how to get to Debug Preview in Xcode 12.4. Rather than ctrl-clicking on the preview Play button, do a long click on it. That brings up the Live Preview/Debug Preview menu.
