How to see NSLog() from console app when using instruments

Question

I\'m using instruments for allocations, but want to see my NSLog messages. In another post they mentioned to look inside /Applications/Utilities/Console for the messages.

If you want to use the Console Application, the Xcode log can be found under the FILES section in the Log List (If not visible:Menu -> View -> Show Log List). Look for

~/Library/Logs/iOS Simulator/6.1/system.log

This is actually just a reference to the file system. So you could to a

tail -f ~/Library/Logs/iOS Simulator/6.1/system.log

in the Terminal as well.

Update:

Another option in some newer versions of Xcode can be found in the Xcode 'Debug' menu. Look for the entry 'Open System Log...'.
