The below is the way I used in my app

NSLog(@"%@",NSStringFromClass([self class]));

Also see improved logging section in Apple documentation. Improved logging in Objective-C

If you want the classname as an NSString, use code below;

[[myObject class] description]

NSLog(@"%@ %s", [self className], sel_getName(_cmd));

As _cmd starts with an underscore, it's potentially something you might not be able to rely on in the future, but everybody seems to use it for diagnostic logging.

Try:

NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
NSLog(@"%s", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__);

P.S. This question may also be useful.
