asl_search logging

Hi,


There are new APIs and this is page about that https://developer.apple.com/reference/os/1891852-logging

I also watched WWDC2016 video about logging, console etc.

My question is related to the very end of this video. Is there a new method instead of asl_search (which doesn't work in iOS10)?


Thx!

No. This was actually covered in the WWDC session. Quoting from the transcript:

First off, all of the ASL logging APIs are now superseded by these new APIs and, therefore, those old APIs are deprecated.

There is an interesting edge case though. A new API for searching the log data is not going to be made public in this release.

What that means is that there’s no equivalent to asl search functionality.

In situations like this I encourage you to file an enhancement request describing your requirements. While we may have seen similar requests before, a fresh bug report will allow you to express your needs in your own terms, and allow R&D engineering to gauge the level of demand.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Just for my own interest, what were you planning to use this for? And on what platforms?
