I can't get NSLogger successfully intergrated to my app

I can't get NSLogger working in my iOS project, or even in a new empty project.

I was in need of some logging frameworks, and I chose NSLogger after some comparison because its desktop viewer is exactly what I need.

I use CocoaPod in my project, so the installation is quite simple. Just add one line in the Podfile and running 'pod update' in the console will do.

I followed the instructions in NSLogger wiki to configure: First, add LoggerStartForBuildUser() into the main() function; Second, replace NSLog() with LogMessageCompact() in my code.

And then I build my project and run it on my iPhone 6 plus(with 8.2 system). My app works fine but I have no log in the console, not a word!

I setup a few break points and make sure the right logging code did execute. But still nothing happened as if NSLogger never exists.

I created a brand new empty app project and done the same installation procedure, but still no log was shown.

I really wanna know if I missed anything. Anyone who had come across similar problem like mine?

PS:My development environment is Yosemite + Xcode 6.2

Problem solved.

It turns out that the NSLogger cannot connect to the desktop viewer. I had to use LoggerSetViewerHost(NULL,hostname,port) instead of LoggerStartForBuildUser().And It works like a charm.

But every time I restart the desktop viewer, the port will change. So I had to change the port in my code and re-compile. That's a little annoying.

And by default, NSLogger would redirect all the NSLog() to its log buffer. So it's normal to see nothing in the console, unless you use LoggerSetOptions(kLoggerOption_LogToConsole) to force NSLogger to copy all the logs into the console.
