How to use CocoaLumberjack for Advanced Logging

Welcome back to the second part of our series on setting up logging correctly with CocoaLumberjack in iOS.

Logging is an essential part of app development, providing valuable insights for debugging, analysis, and support purposes.

CocoaLumberjack is a popular logging framework that offers a range of powerful features to customize and manage logs effectively.

Using the advanced features will enable us to take our logging to the next level, providing enhanced readability, efficient log management, and centralized log analysis.

In the previous blog, we covered the basics of CocoaLumberjack and logging into the console and file, and its use with Crashlytics.

If you have missed the previous blog then please read it before starting reading this advanced version of it.

iOS — How to Setup Logging Correctly with CocoaLumberjack

I already explained CocoaLumberjeck briefly in the previous blog, So let’s move forward quickly by skipping details.

  • Introduction
  • Zip file and Upload it to the server
  • Upload logs to AWS CloudWatch
  • Conclusion

In this blog, we will learn how to zip the log file and upload them to the server, and send logs to the AWS CloudWatch.

Logging application data and diagnostic information to the console or a file can be very useful when debugging problems both during development and production. Having a solid logging solution in place is therefore essential.

Along with many other developers, I have created custom logging solutions for many projects, but CocoaLumberjack is an ideal replacement and it has a lot more to offer.

Remember to refer to the official CocoaLumberjack documentation for more detailed information and customization options.
