How to reduce Console connection failure messages in Xcode

For developers that use an external tool (i.e. Little Snitch) to deny/block network connections coming from the Simulator, you may find that Xcode spams the debug area console with a large amount of network log errors, like below:

SampleApp[27123:934708] [] nw_socket_connect [C905.1:3] connect failed (fd 13) [64: Host is down] 
SampleApp[27123:934708] [] nw_socket_connect connect failed [64: Host is down]

These are Apple error logs logging all failed outgoing network connections configured with an external tool (i.e. Little Snitch) to block outgoing network calls in the Xcode Simulator. Below are potential solutions to help filter the Apple error logs that you see:

• Disable the OS (Operating System) Logs by setting OS_ACTIVITY_MODE = disable in your App Scheme Configuration. See here.
• Or, if you require to see the OS logs and only want to filter Medallia Experience Orchestration SDK's network calls, you can temporarily opt out a user from all tracking. See here.
