Simple answer:

  • log messages are not printed, however you can stop at breakpoints, and then print everything using lldb.

    1. Run your app
    2. While the app is running, go to Debug -> Attach to process by PID or name

  1. Write the name or bundle id of your extension and click attach

  2. Wait for debugger to stop the extension at breakpoint.
