Description

Currently, the CLI provides a great deal of information when running applications against a device like an iPhone. At times, it can be difficult to pick out console.log() statements from your application because the font color is the same for all output that's emitted to the console.

Request: Apply specific font colors to different message types (i.e. console.log() vs info vs warnings vs errors vs device logs) that are output to the console.

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI code that emits console.log output, informational messages, warnings, errors, and device logs. Trace how these message types reach the console; done means each requested type has a distinct font color and the behavior is verified for CLI output from a device run.
