FAQPage Schema
How do I capture iOS Simulator logs in real time for debugging?

Real-time iOS Simulator log capture streams console and system logs directly to your console and timestamped files. It filters logs by the VivaDicta subsystem for focused debugging without affecting app state.

Can I stream VivaDicta oslog output during CI workflows without stopping the app?

Yes, you can stream VivaDicta oslog output continuously during development, testing, and CI workflows. It performs real-time log capture and saves to files without affecting the running simulator app state.

What's the best way to filter iOS Simulator logs by subsystem for focused debugging?

Filtering iOS Simulator logs by the VivaDicta subsystem isolates relevant debugging data from system noise. The Skill automatically applies this filter to stream only targeted application logs to console and persistent files.

Do I need a running iOS Simulator to start capturing VivaDicta logs?

Yes, you need a running iOS Simulator and the scripts/launch_simulator.sh utility to start capturing VivaDicta logs. The script runs in the background to initiate real-time log streaming and file saving.

Are captured iOS Simulator logs saved to a specific directory for persistence?

Captured iOS Simulator logs are saved to a dedicated logs/ directory with automatic file rotation. This ensures timestamped log files persist for later debugging and performance monitoring analysis.

Why is my iOS Simulator log capture not working during VivaDicta testing?

iOS Simulator log capture fails if the simulator is not running or the scripts/launch_simulator.sh utility is missing. Ensure both are active before starting the background log streaming process.
