NativeScript LiveSync with Console Output with iOS Simulator

NativeScript LiveSync does not currently emit console output (via console.log()) via the CLI:

$ tns livesync ios --emulator —watch

There's a couple of ways to make this work. In both cases, you'll need the hash for the iOS simulator/device you're targeting:

$ instruments -s devices

Once you have the hash value, you can trace console.log() statements in two ways:

  1. In another terminal window: $ tail -f ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/<simulator-hash>/system.log
  2. Alternatively, you can attach Console.app (in Xcode) to your simulator.
