Xcode 4.4 is hanging when writing large log strings to the console

Question

As of Xcode 4.4, debugging my app crashes the IDE if I am writing a lot of log messages to the console. In this particular project I am using RestKit, and when I turn RestKit logging on to RKLogLevelTrace and debug the app, Xcode will crash when I am fetching or sending large amounts of data to the web service (and consequently doing a lot of logging).

1. Are other people seeing this issue?

2. Is there any way to fix this problem, or just hope that Apple releases a bug fix for it?

UPDATE It looks to me like Apple fixed this issue as of Xcode 4.4.1 / 4.5 DP4.

Answer 1

Yes. There's an open radar bug for this: Xcode showing "beach ball" when logging a very long string trough NSLog. I think we have to wait for a bug fix release.
