Has anybody else had issues with the Xcode 8 console showing a bunch of random stuff? I don't want to have all of this cluttering my debug messages and logs. Does anybody know how to turn this off?

EDIT: The release notes specify that the console might dump unhelpful stuff for watchOS, but not for iOS.

Example: example of garbage in console

You can disable that output with a environment variable.

In Product>>Scheme>>Edit Scheme...>>Run add the following environment variable: Name:OS_ACTIVITY_MODE, Value: disable
