xcode - console.log not working in an iOS PhoneGap 3.0 app

Question

I am upgrading an app from PhoneGap 1.9 to PhoneGap 3.0. The console.log() function is not working anymore. Previously, the ouput was written in the XCode console. What's the best way to restore the logging feature?

I have read: PhoneGap 2.0 doesn't show console.log in XCode but in PhoneGap 3.0 console.log does not work even after the deviceReady event.

I am also interested to see the javascript errors directly in xcode.

You need the debug console plugin added to your project:

phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-console.git

In later versions of phonegap/cordova, to add the debug console plugin in your project:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console
