Objective-C Log Handling

NSLog method

In order to print logs, we use the NSLog method in Objective-C programming language which we have used right from the Hello World example.

Let us look at a simple code that would print the words "Hello World":

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main()
{
   NSLog(@"Hello, World! \n");
   return 0;
}

Now, when we compile and run the program, we will get the following result.

Disabling logs in Live apps

Since the NSLogs we use in our application, it will be printed in logs of device and it is not good to print logs in a live build. Hence, we use a type definition for printing logs and we can use them as shown below.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

#if DEBUG == 0
#define DebugLog(...)
#elif DEBUG == 1
#define DebugLog(...) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__)
#endif

int main()
{
   DebugLog(@"Debug log, our custom addition gets \
   printed during debug only" );
   NSLog(@"NSLog gets printed always" );     
   return 0;
}

Now, when we compile and run the program in debug mode, we will get the following result.

2013-09-11 02:47:07.723 demo[618] NSLog gets printed always

Now, when we compile and run the program in release mode, we will get the following result.
