I put the following in my <AppName>_Prefix.pch file:
#define ZNLog if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
boolForKey:@"WriteDebugInfo"])NSLog
This is a one line macro (remove the break if it wrapped). I have
statements like the following in my code
ZNLog(@"The value of foo is: %@", foo);
The Preferences window for the app has a checkbox to enable or disable debug
output to the console. If the users (or me) are having problems, enabling
the option will activate all the ZNLogs in the app. With the option
disabled, the ZNLogs do not write to the console.
