Adding LLDebugTool to your project
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is the recommended way to add LLDebugTool
to your project.
Objective - C
- Add a pod entry for LLDebugTool to your Podfile
pod 'LLDebugTool' , '~> 1.0'
.- If only you want to use it only in Debug mode, Add a pod entry for LLDebugTool to your Podfile
pod 'LLDebugTool' , '~> 1.0' ,:configurations => ['Debug']
, Details also see Wiki/Use in Debug environment. If you want to specify the version, use aspod 'LLDebugTool' , '1.3.8.1' ,:configurations => ['Debug']
.- The recommended approach is to use multiple targets and only add
pod 'LLDebugTool', '~> 1.0'
to Debug Target. This has the advantage of not contamiling the code in the Product environment and can be integrated into the App in the Archive Debug environment (if:configurations => ['Debug']
, it can only run through XCode. It is not possible to Archive as an App).- Install the pod(s) by running
pod install
. If you can't searchLLDebugTool
or you can't find the newest release version, runningpod repo update
beforepod install
.- Include LLDebugTool wherever you need it with
#import "LLDebug.h"
or you can write#import "LLDebug.h"
in your .pch in your .pch file.

.
Carthage
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.
Objective - C
To integrate LLDebugTool into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your
Cartfile
:
github "LLDebugTool"
Run
carthage
to build the framework and drag the builtLLDebugTool.framework
into your Xcode project.

Source files
Alternatively you can directly add the source folder named LLDebugTool. to your project.
Objective - C
- Download the latest code version or add the repository as a git submodule to your git-tracked project.
- Open your project in Xcode, then drag and drop the source folder named
LLDebugTool
. When you are prompted to "Choose options for adding these files", be sure to check the "Copy items if needed".- Integrated FMDB to your project,FMDB is an Objective-C wrapper around SQLite.
- Integrated Masonry to your project, Masonry is an Objective-C constraint library. There are no specific version requirements, but it is recommended that you use the latest version.
- Include LLDebugTool wherever you need it with
#import "LLDebug.h"
or you can write#import "LLDebug.h"
in your .pch in your .pch file.

Usage
Get Started
You need to start LLDebugTool at "application:(UIApplication * )application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary * )launchOptions", Otherwise you will lose some information.
If you want to configure some parameters, must configure before "startWorking". More config details see LLConfig.h.
Quick Start
In Objective-C
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "LLDebug.h"
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// The default color configuration is green background and white text color.
// Start working.
[[LLDebugTool sharedTool] startWorking];
// Write your project code here.
return YES;
}
In Swift
import LLDebugToolSwift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// ####################### Start LLDebugTool #######################//
// Use this line to start working.
LLDebugTool.shared().startWorking()
// Write your project code here.
return true
}
Start With Custom Config
In Objective-C
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "LLDebug.h"
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Start working with config.
[[LLDebugTool sharedTool] startWorkingWithConfigBlock:^(LLConfig * _Nonnull config) {
//####################### Color Style #######################//
// Uncomment one of the following lines to change the color configuration.
// config.colorStyle = LLConfigColorStyleSystem;
// [config configBackgroundColor:[UIColor orangeColor] primaryColor:[UIColor whiteColor] statusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
//####################### User Identity #######################//
// Use this line to tag user. More config please see "LLConfig.h".
config.userIdentity = @"Miss L";
//####################### Window Style #######################//
// Uncomment one of the following lines to change the window style.
// config.entryWindowStyle = LLConfigEntryWindowStyleNetBar;
}];
return YES;
}
In Swift
import LLDebugToolSwift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Start working with config.
LLDebugTool.shared().startWorking { (config) in
//####################### Color Style #######################//
// Uncomment one of the following lines to change the color configuration.
// config.colorStyle = .system
// config.configBackgroundColor(.orange, textColor: .white, statusBarStyle: .default)
//####################### User Identity #######################//
// Use this line to tag user. More config please see "LLConfig.h".
config.userIdentity = "Miss L";
//####################### Window Style #######################//
// Uncomment one of the following lines to change the window style.
// config.windowStyle = .netBar
//####################### Features #######################//
// Uncomment this line to change the available features.
// config.availables = .noneAppInfo
}
return true
}
Network Request
You don't need to do anything, just call the "startWorking" will monitoring most of network requests, including the use of NSURLSession, NSURLConnection and AFNetworking. If you find that you can't be monitored in some cases, please open an issue and tell me.
Log
Print and save a log. More log macros details see LLDebugToolMacros.h.
Save Log
In Objective-C
#import "LLDebug.h"
- (void)testNormalLog {
  // Insert an LLog where you want to print.
LLog(@"Message you want to save or print.");
}
In Swift
import LLDebugToolSwift
func testNormalLog() {
// Insert an LLog where you want to print.
LLog.log(message: "Message you want to save or print.")
}
Save Log with event and level
In Objective-C
#import "LLDebug.h"
- (void)testEventErrorLog {
// Insert an LLog_Error_Event where you want to print an event and level log.
  LLog_Error_Event(@"The event that you want to mark. such as bugA, taskB or processC.",@"Message you want to save or print.");
}
In Swift
import LLDebugToolSwift
func testEventErrorLog() {
// Insert an LLog_Error_Event where you want to print an event and level log.
LLog.errorLog(message: "Message you want to save or print.", event: "The event that you want to mark. such as bugA, taskB or processC.")
}
Crash
You don't need to do anything, just call the "startWorking" to intercept the crash, store crash information, cause and stack informations, and also store the network requests and log informations at the this time.
AppInfo
LLDebugTool monitors the app's CPU, memory, and FPS. At the same time, you can also quickly check the various information of the app.
Sandbox
