To replace print statements with structured logging in Swift, you generate infrastructure using the os.log/Logger framework to establish categories, log levels, and privacy annotations for centralized debugging.

Migrating print() calls to os.log involves auditing existing logging practices and converting scattered debug output into categorized, level-based Logger statements with privacy annotations like .public or .private.

os.log privacy controls work by applying .public, .private, or .sensitive annotations to logging variables, ensuring data security while allowing structured debug output to be filtered and searched in Console.app.

Yes, the Logger framework supports categorized logging for different app modules by establishing specific log categories, enabling developers to filter and isolate debugging output for distinct components in Console.app.

You should use os.log instead of print statements because it provides structured logging with privacy controls, categorized output, and native Console.app integration, replacing inefficient and unsearchable debug text.
