XCode 8 console display too crowded

Ever since I upgraded to XCode 8, I’m seeing many messages having to do with so many other apps that I can’t easily isolate Corona. My only solution has seemed to be iOS Console from lemonjar.com - but it is very slow.

Does anyone else have a better solution?

I think this more of an iOS 10 issue and Apple’s devices have gotten quite chatty, much like Android. I hope in 10.1 they will cut some of the noise back. It does make it harder to debug things.  There was some talk about doing some things to cut down the noise going to the Corona console log (window that opens with the simulator)  that may be in a later daily build, but it won’t do anything about the noise going to Xcode’s device window.

Xcode Version 8.1 reduced this excessive text output, but now I have to wait for corona to support 8.1 so I can upload a revised version of one of my apps to the iTunes store. :) 

I don’t know how to use xcode-select, there are so many versions on my Mac.

If you have multiple Xcode’s installed, they will be in different paths on your system. You can determine which Xcode you’re using by opening the Terminal app and typing:

xcode-select -p

for me, that showed:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/

If you want to use a different Xcode you do:

xcode-select -s /Path/to/your/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/

And Corona will use that version of Xcode.
