[NLog.Targets.MauiLog](https://www.nuget.org/packages/NLog.Targets.MauiLog) for debugging on MAUI / Xamarin Mobile Platforms using the native logging systems: - **Android** — `Android.Util.Log` → view in **Logcat** - **iOS / macOS** — `OSLog` → view in **Xcode Console** or **Console.app** - **Other platforms** — `System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Log` → view in the **debugger output**
## 1. Install NLog
Install the following NuGet packages:
``` dotnet package add NLog.Extensions.Logging dotnet package add NLog.Targets.MauiLog ```
Use the package versions appropriate for your .NET version (Use ver. 10 for NET10, and ver. 8 for NET8 etc.).
## 2. Configure NLog
NLog integrates with the built-in Microsoft.Extensions.Logging infrastructure. Application code continues to use `ILogger<T>`, while NLog handles log routing, formatting, and writing to configured targets.
Configure NLog in `MauiProgram.cs`:
```csharp using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging; using NLog; using NLog.Extensions.Logging;
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp() { var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder.Logging.ClearProviders();
// Register NLog MauiLog extension and setup as output target NLog.LogManager.Setup() .RegisterMauiLog() .LoadConfiguration(config => config .ForLogger() .FilterMinLevel(NLog.LogLevel.Info) .WriteToMauiLog());
// Register NLog as Microsoft.Extensions.Logging provider builder.Logging.AddNLog();
builder.UseMauiApp<App>();
return builder.Build(); } ```
## 3. Start logging
NLog is now configured and receives log events from Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. Application code can continue using `ILogger<T>` as usual.
You are not required to use the `ILogger<T>`, if you prefer using `NLog.LogManager.GetLogger(....)` in the application.
