Question Player.log not being written on builds built from Xcode

Using:

• Unity 2020.3.1f1
• Big Sur 11.2.3
• 2015 MBP, so Intel - not M1
• Xcode 12.3

I'm not seeing any Player.log files being written when building the app from Xcode (which I'm having to do because of entitlement issues...

Player.log does get written just fine if I build the app directly from Unity, though...

Anyone else currently finding this?

 

I've been having the same issues locating the log files for mac builds since Catalina. The issue is that it now depends on where you run the app from as to where macOS puts the logs and many of the locations do not show up in Finder searches. For example the standard log locations are not used if you run your development app from the desktop. Try this:

• in terminal find the process id of your application using:
ps -ae|grep APP_NAME // case sensitive

• look for the log file asssociated with your application and note the PID number and run:
lsof -p 36597|grep log // replacing 36597 with the PID you found

this should show the location of the log file you're looking for

 

@Tautvydas-Zilys I was looking in the usual location of

Library/Logs/[companyName]/[appName]

@jason_yak you're absolutely right - there they are. Thanks so much!

In my case they were in

Library/Containers/[appName]/Data/Library/Logs/[companyName]/[appName]

 

No worries, this little problem had me stumped for a while. Very handy way to track down the logs!
