It always show message while po dictionary/array like

error: warning: Stopped in a context claiming to capture an Objective-C object pointer, but 'self' isn't available; pretending we are in a generic context

This is a debugger bug (Yeah, imagine that!)

Simply restart XCode, and it shouldn't be a problem for you anymore :)

EDIT:

Psyche! I was thinking of something else.

You're creating a retain cycle, and as of now, the debugger classifies this specific retain cycle this way (As I said, a bug).

To fix this, create a weak copy of self:

__weak __typeof(self)weakSelf = self;

Then for the self that's giving you trouble:

Change self.object to weakSelf.object

You can check the values of properties and variables using po [self variablename] in console window. This way you can easily access the variables.

Also you can check with other projects weather the problem is with xcode or in your project configurations.

You can also expand the collapsed value in debug area. if it's expanding then you can access values by simply using po variablename otherwise you need to use po [self variablename].
