In summary, there is no direct way to have a pop up console in Xcode like on Windows and the only way to view console output is through the designated areas in Xcode or through Terminal.

I recently started programming on a Mac from Windows, and I'm working on setting up Xcode. Is there anyway to have a popup for the console once the program is running so that it's not attached and running in the lower right-hand corner? I've tried finding solutions to this, but everything I've found is for older versions of Xcode that doesn't achieve the same result that I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no way to have a console pop up in Xcode like you can with Windows. The only way to view the console output is by either opening the Xcode Console Window or using the Terminal. You can also use the "Debug Area" at the bottom of the window to view more detailed information about your program.
