Question

Should all NSLog() calls be deleted in the final app for iTunes?

In my iOS app, I’ve got lots of NSLog() for debug.
Should I conditionally code them out before uploading to iTunes?

This is for an app for: iPhone, iPod, iPad

Thanks.

You don’t have to remove all of them; in fact, they can be useful if your app crashes on a user’s phone and you want them to send you a crash log. When a user syncs his/her phone, the crash log is located in the folder

~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>

If you have NSLog()s you may gain useful information just as you would when debugging. As the others pointed out, don’t overdo it, but it they could end up being useful.
