How do I access this variable in iOS debugger?

I have a debugger in this loop :

    for view: UIView in containerView.subviews {
        // debugger stops here!
        var rect = CGRectMake(0,contentRect.size.height, self.view.frame.width, view.frame.height)
        contentRect = CGRectUnion(contentRect, rect)
    }

If I run :

(lldb) po view
<UILabel: 0x7ff45176f800; frame = (0 0; 11516.5 20.5); text = 'Many translations suggest...'; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7ff45176fa10>>

I naturally assume that I could access the text attribute via :

po view.text

But that returns :

error: <EXPR>:1:1: error: value of type 'UIView' has no member 'text'

How can I access this attribute?

The same way you would access it in code, you have to cast it, otherwise the debugger still sees view as a UIView instance:

// Swift
po (view as! UILabel).text

// Obj-C
po [(UILabel *) view text]
