[Accepted] SDL 0030 - Redesign iOS Logging about sdl_evolution HOT 4 CLOSED

@kshala-ford It is a big proposal, but since large sections of it have been implemented before, I don't think it will take that long to implement.

What files are going to be added from the SuperLogger repo? Including all the loggers/targets?

Only what is described in the proposal will be added. So only the console, os_log, and file log targets. If more are desired, because it's extensible, others can build them and submit them back to the project if they'd like.

What's the extra footprint for the binary? Developers complain about the size increase on iOS when integrating SDL framework.

Just the cost of adding a thousand or so lines of code. A few dozen kilobytes, perhaps? A hundred or two at the most? Considering that we're removing multiple thousands of LOC in 5.0, we're probably safe. I think the benefit is worth it anyway.

On iOS developers ask to get live logging to the computer. I always advised to use NSLogger. What's necessary to perform live logging with superlogger? What's your preferred target?

With SuperLogger I had built a webserver target that allowed the device to serve a website on the local network that it could display logs on using WebSockets. That turned out to be a lot of work and was never finished. If live logging over the network is desired, anyone should be able to build a target (such as one to NSLogger, or a webserver logger, or a telnet logger) and submit it back to the project.

This is quite a big proposal and a powerful feature for logging. Reminds me of CocoaLumberjack . Just spent more than an hour reading it. Here some thoughts:

• What files are going to be added from the SuperLogger repo? Including all the loggers/targets?
• What's the extra footprint for the binary? Developers complain about the size increase on iOS when integrating SDL framework.
• On iOS developers ask to get live logging to the computer. I always advised to use NSLogger. What's necessary to perform live logging with superlogger? What's your preferred target?

Given the discussion that took place on the GitHub issue, this proposal has been accepted by the Steering Committee.
