Can I use this skill without the Miso screen capture app?

Yes, you can stream logs directly in your terminal using the 'Terminal Streaming' option provided in the skill documentation.

What are the prerequisites for using iOS Log Watcher?

You must have an iPhone connected via USB, the device must be trusted/unlocked, and you need pymobiledevice3 installed (pip3 install pymobiledevice3).

Why aren't any logs appearing in the console?

Ensure your app is actively running on the device and that your logging implementation uses the '[APP]' prefix, as the skill filters out all other system messages.

How does Claude use these logs to help me code?

The skill includes a 'Reading Logs' option that takes a snapshot of the most recent 30 lines, allowing Claude to inspect errors and suggest code fixes based on actual device output.

Mobile Development

Streams and filters real-time log messages from USB-connected iPhones to facilitate focused application debugging and monitoring.

About

The iOS Log Watcher skill streamlines the mobile debugging workflow by providing real-time log streaming from physical iPhones directly to your development environment. By leveraging the pymobiledevice3 utility and automatically filtering for an '[APP]' prefix, it eliminates the clutter of thousands of system-level messages, allowing developers to focus exclusively on their application's specific behavior. This skill is essential for monitoring runtime states, debugging physical device issues, and capturing log snapshots that Claude can analyze to identify root causes of errors.

Key Features

Intelligent log filtering using the '[APP]' prefix to reduce noise
Integration with the Miso screen-capture console for visual monitoring
Snapshot mode to capture the most recent 30 logs for AI analysis
Real-time syslog streaming via USB connection
Simplified CLI commands for pymobiledevice3 automation
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Debugging complex runtime errors on physical iOS devices during development
Monitoring application state and network responses without opening Xcode
Providing Claude with log context to troubleshoot specific app failures
