  * This affects iOS client side developers who do not want to   *
  * expose potentially sensitive logging information on release  *
  * builds.                                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * NSLog was being used for some network request which could    *
  * involve sensitive information once the application was       *
  * released.                                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *

Problem conclusion

• A predefined macro for DLog has been defined which is setting
  NSLogs to a debug level, so the issue no longer exists.
  Developers should  update their client iOS client SDK  to the
  ifix that contains this APAR.
