SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Records the start timestamp and device UDID to prepare for structured iOS device log collection, enabling precise log correlation with a physical device.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture start timestamp and UDID to llmtemp for later log extraction.
  • Guide users through connecting a device, collecting logs, and initiating stop-logs-device-structured to retrieve logs since the timestamp.
  • Useful for debugging real-device iOS apps and for structured log analysis.

Quick Start

Record the start timestamp and device UDID to llmtemp, then interact with the app on the device and run /stop-logs-device-structured to collect all logs since this time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture iOS device logs with a specific start timestamp for debugging?

You capture structured iOS device logs by recording a start timestamp and device UDID into temporary storage, which prepares the session for precise log correlation during real-device debugging.

What do I need to collect structured logs from a physical iOS device?

You need a locally running macOS environment with sudo privileges for the native log collection workflow, along with the connected device's UDID to collect structured logs.

How do I start and stop structured log collection for an iOS app?

Start structured log collection by recording the timestamp and device UDID, interact with the iOS app, then run the stop command to retrieve all logs generated since that timestamp.

Why do I need the device UDID when debugging iOS apps on a real device?

The device UDID is needed when debugging iOS apps to precisely correlate captured structured logs with the specific physical device that generated them during the debugging session.

Does iOS log collection with a timestamp require sudo on macOS?

Yes, iOS log collection with a timestamp requires sudo on macOS because the native log collection workflow depends on locally running macOS commands that need elevated system privileges.
