Logan has put this perfectly  Potentially something worth pointing out also is that you can use  printf whatever you want to print     For example if you were printing a string   printf  hello

You can also use breakpoints  Assuming the value you want is defined within the scope of your breakpoint you have 3 options    print it in console doing   po some paramter   Bare in mind in objective-c for properties you can t use self   po  someProperty po self someProperty    would not work   po stands for print object     Or can just use Xcode  Variable Views    See the image   I highly recommend seeing Debugging with Xcode from Apple     Or just hover over within your code  Like the image below

In some environments  NSLog   will be unresponsive   But there are other ways to get output     NSString  url     someurlstring   printf   s    url UTF8String      By using printf with the appropriate parameters  we can display things this way   This is the only way I have found to work on online Objective-C sandbox environments

Logan said it perfectly  but i would like to add an alternative here       if you want to view logs from just your application then you can make   a custom method that keeps saving the log to a file in documents   directory  amp  then you can view that log file from your application    There is one good advantage for developers of the app after the app has been released  amp  users are downloading it  Because your app will be able to send logs  amp  crash reports to the developers  of course with the permissions of the device user       amp  it ll be the way to improve your application   Let me know  To other SO users   if there is another way of doing the same thing   Like default Apple feature or something   Let me know if it helps or you want some more idea
