Messages printed from NSLog
are displayed on Console.app even in the release build of your app, which doesn't make sense for printouts that are only useful for debugging. To fix this, you can use this macro for debug logging instead of NSLog
.
#ifdef DEBUG
#define DLog(...) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define DLog(...)
#endif
To use:
NSString *value = @"value 1";
DLog(@"value = %@", value);
// little known fact: programmers look for job postings in Console.app
NSLog(@"We're hiring!");
In debug builds, DLog
will call NSLog
. In release builds, DLog
will do nothing.
