/axiom:console

Capture iOS simulator console output (print + os_log) using xclog.

Command

/axiom:console

What It Does

Guides you through capturing simulator console output:

1. Discovers installed apps via xclog list
2. Asks which app to capture (or uses the one you specified)
3. Launches capture with bounded defaults (--timeout 30s --max-lines 200)
4. Presents output with errors and faults highlighted

When to Use

• You need to see what an app is printing to the console
• Diagnosing a runtime crash — need logs leading up to it
• Investigating silent failures with no UI feedback
• Quick console check during development

Usage Tips

• Use --filter "error|warning" to focus on problems
• Use --subsystem com.example.MyApp to filter by your app's logging subsystem
• Use --timeout 60s for longer capture sessions
• Use --output /tmp/console.log to save for later analysis
