How to remove the RoomPlan Debug Metal HUD in iOS 16?

Question

The problem:

1. The console is filled with debug data making it impossible to log anything else.
2. The iPad screen shows a lot of metal HUD views making creating screenshots impossible.

What I have tried:

1. Setting the: Scheme -> Diagnostics -> Metal: API Validation flag to false or (true)
2. Checking the docu for several RoomPlan classes and structs for words like: debug, show, logging, log... RoomCaptureSession.Configuration, RoomCaptureView
3. Running the app in the Release build configuration (since the Debug was set per default).
4. Several google searches
5. Use a different demo project to verify if the issue is project-specific. Official Apple Demo Project
