Hi Ben,

NSLog() is output to the console.log as well, visible in the Console.app. Oppositely, I find it helpful to use that if a user is having a problem with some software - just send a build with NSLog ()'s and ask them to send back their console.log.

I'm writing a program that outputs some sensitive data via NSLog (for debugging) that shouldn't be visible to the user. Is it OK to leave all the places I use NSLog where they are, or should I take them out? Is there anyways the user can grab or sniff what my program is outputting?

I just use NSLog for debugging purposes when I'm running the program in Xcode. It's convenient, so I can see what my program is doing, but if there's anyway someone can get the data that is being output with NSLog, I need to take it out.

Thanks.
