It seems that Core Data debugging by setting the launch argument

-com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 1

(as documented in "TroubleShooting Core Data" in the "Core Data Programming Guide") no longer works with Xcode 8.

I tried it with a new iOS Master-Detail Core Data application, running in the iOS Simulator and could not see any SQL statements in the debugger console. Did the option change, do I have to look somewhere else for the ouput? I could not find anything related in the Xcode 8 Release Notes.

Thanks for any help,

Regards, Martin

You can set "-com.apple.CoreData.Logging.stderr 1" as a launch argument to get it back into the Xcode debug console.
