In Xcode, is there a way to disable the timestamps that appear in the debugger console when calling NSLog?

Question

Xcode\'s debugger console makes it easy to see any debugging messages my app sends out using NSLog(), but it always sticks a timestamp prefix on them:

Answer 1

This is way more easier than the suggested solutions. Using carelesslyChoosy's solution and adding a little bit more to make it log entries on release builds only you get the macro below. Just add this macro to your header or .pch file. This macro will show log entries when the DEBUG flag is enabled, on release builds you won't see log entries.

#ifdef DEBUG
#define NSLog(FORMAT, ...) printf("%s\n", [[NSString stringWithFormat:FORMAT, ##__VA_ARGS__] UTF8String]);
#define Log(x, ...) NSLog(@"%s %d: " x, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define Log(x, ...)
#endif
