How to stop Xcode 6 from displaying disassembly when running the debugger

When I am running the Xcode 6 debugger, every time I reach the end of a function and I step into or step over the last statement Xcode takes me to the disassembly of the function. All I want to see is to return to my code and continue, rather than view the disassembly.

In my project explicitly when I step into at the end of the function. The same happens when I step over as well.

regular function

disassembly

In this answer it can be seen that the Always Show Disassembly being unchecked does not necessarily mean that the disassembly will not show, so is there an explicit way to state to Never Show Disassembly? Or is this merely a bug in Xcode 6?

Xcode is showing you the assembly because that's the only thing it has available to show you. If you don't want to look at it, ignore it.

If you step into the last statement, you're stepping into the implementation of [NSArray count] (or whatever self.photos is); if you step over it, your method exits, and you're now looking at the function in UITableView that calls your tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: method. Both of these methods are in Apple's frameworks, so there's no source code available.

Turning off "Always Show Disassembly" doesn't mean that you'll never see assembler code. It just means that Xcode will show you source code when possible. There is no "Never Show Disassembly" option because that would leave Xcode with nothing to display in some situations.
