ios - Xcode 4 and Core Data: How to enable SQL Debugging

Question

I'm working on a universal iOS app and I'd like to see the raw SQL in the logs when I'm debugging. There is some info in this blog post about how to enable raw SQL logging for iOS Core Data development. The given example is for Xcode 3 and it's just not clear to me how to enable this in Xcode 4.

I've tried "Product" -> "Edit Scheme" and added "-com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 1" to "Arguments Passed on Launch", but I'm still not seeing any output in the logs. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place or just passing the arguments incorrectly.

Answer 1

You should be looking at the same place you get NSLOGS

And you should Go to Product -> Edit Scheme -> Then from the left panel select Run YOURAPP.app and go to the main panel's Arguments Tab.

There you can add an Argument Passed On Launch.

You should add -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 4 (number between 1 and 4, higher number makes it more verbose)

Press OK and your are all set.

The key here is to edit the scheme you will be using for testing.
