Gabe, let me share the decisions and solutions I went over in my attempting to solve this on iOS.
In my first logging, all that I wanted was to be able to get the NSLogs out of a file that ONLY had the logs from my app. I sent you the code for that. In another app, there were 3 sets of transactions that I cared about. To keep the issues relevent, I logged to 3 separate files and then could transfer each as needed. Some people hate this. For me, I put a timestamp on each log event and it helped me because I could instantly pay attention to ONLY the info that I wanted to pay attention to by opening the file for the issues I cared about. A concern was that “the file could get too big.” So, I arbitrarily limited each file to 10,000 lines of text when writing to them, trimming the oldest line if the file length was > 10,000 lines. Securlty. Would the files need to be encrypted? To get around this, I just made sure not to log any PII and used a lookup to get any special info. Just some background info on the thought process that was behind several of the logging that I put in place over the years. Cheers.
