Question

How can i see javascript log messages on xcode console?

Answer 1

In later versions of phonegap/cordova, to add the debug console plugin in your project:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console

Answer 2

In my case, i just needed to comment the following lines in the cordova.js :

if(typeof window.console === "undefined") { window.console = { log:function(){} };

Answer 3

Problem

The following or a similar error message occurs when adding the console plugin to the ios platform (or after reinstalling) via Command-line Interface:

"CDVPlugin class CDVLogger (pluginName: Console) does not exist."

Solution

Open your Xcode project and go to the tab "Build Phases". Now open the drop-down named "Compile Sources". Click on the "+" sign at the end of the list and add "CDVLogger.m" or any other missing source.

1. On your real iDevice or in iOS simulator go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and turn on Web Inspector.
2. Desktop Safari: Safari > Preferences > Advanced and select the Show develop menu in menu bar checkbox.
3. Now that you have either iOS Simulator open or your iDevice connected to your mac start using web inspector on your website: On your mac, open Safari and go to Develop
