iPhone console.log

[friherd]

I use console.log a lot in development for debugging,etc . I'd been
lazy and leaving them in my code when I released my app to the App
Store figuring it didn't really matter.

I stopped doing that when I realized with my iPhone connected to my
Mac I can see the NSLog output of ALL apps on my iPhone in Xcode in
the Organizer window under the Console tab for Devices. I saw comments
that no doubt the developers didn't intend for other people to see.

One from a social-network app gave me pause about what they were up
to....

For iOS, in your release, if you set somewhere during startup:

console.setLevel(DebugConsole.ERROR_LEVEL);

Only logs that you call "console.error" on will be printed.

See:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone/blob/master/PhoneGapLib/javascripts/core/debugconsole.js

For debugging to see all logs, you would set it to:
console.setLevel(DebugConsole.INFO_LEVEL);

If you have a ton of logging messages, reducing them for release will improve performance as well...

I'm also not seeing log message (either console.log or console.error
or errors from bugs). I'm using XCode 4 with phonegap 0.9.5.

I wasn't sure what your post meant -- do we replace the regular
phonegap js with the phonegap-iphone js or what?

Are you sure you have phonegap.js included properly and waited for deviceready? Do any of the other phonegap functions work?
They of course do work, it's probably just your setup

no. it was just to set the log level.
