[iOS] possible console bug

Wed Jul 28 16:07:25 EDT 2021

Tested with Catalina / LC9.6.2 / Simulator. Works as Panos described although with this setup I did not see a Start button, and I never clicked on anything. I did see the “put” messages from my app go to the Console. PS filter as Panos suggests works great to filter just the messages from your app.
