How to print something to the console in Xcode?

Question

How do you print something to the console of Xcode, and is it possible to view the Xcode console from the app itself?

Thanks!

You can also use breakpoints. Assuming the value you want is defined within the scope of your breakpoint you have 3 options:

print it in console doing:

po some_paramter

Bare in mind in objective-c for properties you can't use self.

po _someProperty
po self.someProperty // would not work

po stands for print object.

Or can just use Xcode 'Variable Views' . See the image

I highly recommend seeing Debugging with Xcode from Apple

Or just hover over within your code. Like the image below.
