This is a very helpful run-through.

I'd love it if you could also do an episode describing the new Unified Logging API, or one of the more popular solutions like CocoaLumberjack.

Logging, like JSON de/serialization, is one of those things that almost every large app needs but the platform does not provide a comprehensive solution.

IMHO the Unified Logging system has serious usability problems. I believe you cannot direct your device logs to files, automatically send them to a server, or view them from the Terminal. And, from Swift, it doesn't provide a particularly convenient API, nor any API at all for activity tracing, which is one of the system's unique features.
