I am using xcode 4.5.2 and PhoneGap (Cordova) to develop an iphone app.
Looking at the Log Navigator
in xcode does not show me any of the js console.log
s.
What must I do to be able to see these log outputs?
To enable debugging on iOS, In the iOS device, go to Settings → Safari → Advanced → Enable 'Web Inspector' From the Mac, Safari → Preferences → Advanced → Enable 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' Once this is done, start the Cordova application and connect your iOS device with USB cable.
You can test many of the Cordova features using the iOS emulator installed with the iOS SDK and Xcode, but you need an actual device to fully test all of the app's device features before submitting to the App Store. The device must have at least iOS 6. x installed, the minimum iOS version supported as of Cordova 3.0.
This may be a little late but its quite simple.
So in Safari, Go preferences
-> advanced
-> Show Develop menu in menu bar
. Once you've that, build and run in xcode and then in safari go Develop
-> iPhone Simulator
-> Your App Name
.
It works pretty well but I can't find a way to make it persist as such, so you need to repeat this after every run seemingly, which is a pain. If I find a way I'll post here.
Additional:
As Harry points out below in the comments, you can then run location.reload
in the safari console to reload the Cordova app and see all the log messages from the boot of the application
I found a little help to open the console for ios simulator
