mjtsai,
Jeff Johnson: [The] functions os_log and NSLog now log nil as an empty string. The previous behavior, going back forever as far as I remember, was to log nil as (null).[…]I don’t know whether this is a bug or intended behavior, but it makes debugging our apps markedly worse, because now there’s no easy way […]
