How can I get the console logs from the iOS Simulator?
console, ios, ios-simulator
Solution
iOS Simulator > Menu Bar > Debug > Open System Log
Old ways:
iOS Simulator prints its logs directly to stdout, so you can see the logs mixed up with system logs.
Open the Terminal and type: `tail -f /var/log/system.log`
Then run the simulator.
EDIT:
This stopped working on Mavericks/Xcode 5. Now you can access the simulator logs in its own folder: `~/Library/Logs/iOS Simulator/<sim-version>/system.log`
You can either use the Console.app to see this, or just do a tail (iOS 7.0.3 64 bits for example):
`tail -f ~/Library/Logs/iOS\ Simulator/7.0.3-64/system.log`
EDIT 2:
They are now located in `~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/<simulator-hash>/system.log`
`tail -f ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/<simulator-hash>/system.log`
Problem
I want to see what happens in the iOS Simulator if I'm not testing the app in Xcode. For example, if I open a link in the Safari simulator, see what happens in the console, or if I install a web-app, see the links that I'm pressing in console. How can I do this? I want to see it in Xcode or Terminal, but it's not a problem if I need to use another bit of software.
