Watchdog
Class for logging excessive blocking on the main thread. It watches the main thread and checks if it doesn’t get blocked for more than defined threshold. You can also inspect which part of your code is blocking the main thread.
👮 Main thread was blocked for 1.25s 👮
Requirements
- iOS 8.0+, tvOS 9.0+ or OS X 10.9+
- Xcode 7.0 or above
Installation
Carthage

github "wojteklu/Watchdog"
Then run carthage update.
Follow the current instructions in Carthage's README for up to date installation instructions.
CocoaPods
Add the following to your Podfile:
pod 'Watchdog'You will also need to make sure you're opting into using frameworks:
use_frameworks!Then run pod install with CocoaPods 0.36 or newer.
Manually
Manually add the file into your Xcode project. Slightly simpler, but updates are also manual.
Usage
Simply, just instantiate Watchdog with number of seconds that must pass to consider the main thread blocked. Additionally you can enable strictMode that stops the execution whenever the threshold is reached. This way, you can inspect which part of your code is blocking the main thread.
let watchdog = Watchdog(threshold: 0.4, strictMode: true)Don't forget to retain Watchdog somewhere or it will get released when it goes out of scope.
