Console output?

I’ve just started the Store Search tutorial and only changed ViewController to SearchViewController. I then built and ran the app as suggested. In the output in the console it showed the following:

2016-10-15 19:48:11.311526 StoreSearch[30949:3095397] subsystem: com.apple.UIKit, category: HIDEventFiltered, enable_level: 0, persist_level: 0, default_ttl: 0, info_ttl: 0, debug_ttl: 0, generate_symptoms: 0, enable_oversize: 1, privacy_setting: 2, enable_private_data: 0 2016-10-15 19:48:11.323221 StoreSearch[30949:3095397] subsystem: com.apple.UIKit, category: HIDEventIncoming, enable_level: 0, persist_level: 0, default_ttl: 0, info_ttl: 0, debug_ttl: 0, generate_symptoms: 0, enable_oversize: 1, privacy_setting: 2, enable_private_data: 0 2016-10-15 19:48:11.337189 StoreSearch[30949:3095394] subsystem: com.apple.BaseBoard, category: MachPort, enable_level: 1, persist_level: 0, default_ttl: 0, info_ttl: 0, debug_ttl: 0, generate_symptoms: 0, enable_oversize: 0, privacy_setting: 0, enable_private_data: 0 2016-10-15 19:48:11.364138 StoreSearch[30949:3095274] subsystem: com.apple.UIKit, category: StatusBar, enable_level: 0, persist_level: 0, default_ttl: 0, info_ttl: 0, debug_ttl: 0, generate_symptoms: 0, enable_oversize: 1, privacy_setting: 2, enable_private_data: 0 2016-10-15 19:48:11.405832 StoreSearch[30949:3095274] subsystem: com.apple.BackBoardServices.fence, category: App, enable_level: 1, persist_level: 0, default_ttl: 0, info_ttl: 0, debug_ttl: 0, generate_symptoms: 0, enable_oversize: 0, privacy_setting: 0, enable_private_data: 0

I’ve seen my console output a bunch of this data for other tutorials so i’m not concerned about it, but I’m curious as to if this is something everybody is seeing or is this something specific to how I have Xcode configured? Is there a way to disable this output, and if so would it potentially be bad to do so? When I have things output to the console for debugging purposes, it can get cluttered and hard to skim through the above to find what I’m looking for.

This is a known issue with Xcode 8. It just dumps a whole bunch of stuff in the debug pane.

You can fix it with this tip: https://twitter.com/rustyshelf/status/775505191160328194

(You can find that screen under Edit Scheme… when you click the left-hand side of the simulator picker at the top of the Xcode window.)

Apparently this issue is fixed in Xcode 8.1 (which is still in beta).
