And of course the API side of logging, i.e. OSLog, is still unusable if you have exotic needs like, I dunno, sending the logs somewhere where you, the developer, might take a look at them. Feels like having sessions telling us about improvements to logging without solving that one first is a bit pointless.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, try something like this:

$ log stream --level debug --process MyProcess > mylog.txt

For lighter-weight logging, replace "debug" with "info" or "default". If your program has debug symbols, you can also toss in the --source flag to add the filename and line number for each logging statement, if available.

The new logging is a significant improvement once you get used to it, IMO.

GP meant from remote devices, like a phone, to somewhere the developer can see it, like a logging service. OSLog can't even log to a local file, making it fairly useless for in app logging even in testing, as there's no way to see your app's logs in the app, no?
