AFNetworkActivityLogger is an extension for AFNetworking 2.0 that logs network requests as they are sent and received.

AFNetworkActivityLogger listens for AFNetworkingOperationDidStartNotification / AFNetworkingOperationDidFinishNotification and AFNetworkingTaskDidStartNotification / AFNetworkingTaskDidFinishNotification notifications, which are posted by AFNetworking as request operations and session tasks are started and finish. For further customization of logging output, users are encouraged to implement desired functionality by listening for these notifications.

Add the following code to AppDelegate.m -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions::

[[AFNetworkActivityLogger sharedLogger] startLogging];

Now all AFURLConnectionOperation and NSURLSessionTask objects created by an AFURLSessionManager will have their request and response logged to the console, a la:

GET http://example.com/foo/bar.json
200 http://example.com/foo/bar.json

If the default logging level is too verbose—say, if you only want to know when requests fail—then changing it is as simple as:

[[AFNetworkActivityLogger sharedLogger] setLevel:AFLoggerLevelError];
