Can I use a different console than the one in Xcode?
1 project | /r/iOSProgramming | 18 Dec 2021

So I was attempting to use Rainbow and apparently it is unusable in Xcode debugger unless you have another library that has not been usable since like Xcode 8. Is there any way I could get an output console for Xcode that's from someone else so I can print debugger statements in different color? I know about the emoji trick but sometimes it's still hard to track eh.
