Define Debug .vs. use __OPTIMIZE__ predefined macro in JMC iOS SDK

Martha Castillo1

Hi.

After embedding JMC in my iPhone app, I noticed I couldn't see any log send from JMC.After a while , I realized I had not defined the Debug flag.

So , what 's the reason to define in JMCMacros

# ifdef DEBUG

# define JMCDLog(format, ...) JMCALog(format, ##__VA_ARGS__);

# else

# define JMCDLog(...)

# endif

instead of

#ifndef __OPTIMIZE__

# define JMCDLog(format, ...) JMCALog(format, ##__VA_ARGS__);

# else

# define JMCDLog(...)

# endif

?

By using predefined macro __OPTIMIZE__ ,you don't have to be worried or to know about to define an additional flag in your main project settings when embed the JMC SDK within your iOS app.

Cheers,

Hi Martha,

Xcode adds the DEBUG flag by default to your project settings for the Debug build configuration.

This is not added for the Release configuration. This means that when your app is build using the Release configuration, JMC log statements wont appear when run on the device.

Whilst this may not be the case for all projects, the reason we chose this approach was that we figured it is actually better to have no logging, than to have logging. For example, the api-key could potentially get leaked to the user if logs are accidently turned on and a URL is logged.
