Can't view NSLog messages for App Extensions in iOS8

Question

I have tried everything in this thread: How to debug iOS 8 extensions with NSLog?

And I am still unable to view NSLog messages for my app extension in Beta 5 & XCode Beta 5.

Would someone mind posting a step by step?

Here's what I've tried:

• Running companion app - doesn't automatically attach when extension is loaded (stays at 'Waiting to attach')
• Running companion app, then attaching manually by typing in extension name
• Attaching manually by running extension scheme and choosing another app (I've tried Safari, my companion app, others in this scenario)
• Tried all of this on device and in simulator

In earlier beta's you could toggle between the main target an the extension here, but not anymore (why!?):

No luck for any of them. Super frustrated because I've got to the point where I can't seem to debug anything. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

Answer 1

For me the problem was in the NSLog window I had the simulator selected instead of my actually device... Click where I click in image below to reveal all options then select your device. Now launch your app extension inside your app itself.
