Get Xcode console output to log in a file

Question

I'm running some iOS app tests and would like to get xcode's console to log its output to a file. Is there a way I can do this?

Answer 1

There is a wonderful framework that will do this (and other logging methods) for you. It's called CocoaLumberjack

Answer 2

Take a look at Redirecting debug output from XCode 4 console to a log file.

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXGDBDebuggerLogToFile YES
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXGDBDebuggerLogFileName <filepath>

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-arm-apple-darwin

#!/bin/sh

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-arm-apple-darwin- $* | tee -a $HOME/tmp/xcode-gdb.log 2>&1

Answer 3

Try this instead in mac terminal

check name of the device from About Section

sudo log collect --deviceName "NAME" --last 10m --output iphone_test1.logarchive
