XCode now keeps the logs from the previous runs handy which is great.

enter image description here

Is there a way to search though all of the logs.

My use case is I have seen a particular error but cant remember which run it was in. I need to find the error URL from the logs.

    Xcode stores debug logs at

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<YOURAPP>/Logs/Debug/

    The .xcactivitylog files are actually just gz archives. Decompress them:

    cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<YOURAPP>/Logs/Debug/
EXT=".xcactivitylog"
for LOG in *.xcactivitylog; do
    NAME=`basename $LOG $EXT`
    gunzip -c -S $EXT "${NAME}${EXT}" > "${NAME}.log"
done

    Now you can easily search them using grep or Spotlight or what your prefer.
