Here’s the blogpost on basic debugging. I primarily use Android and use aLogcat (an app from Google Play store) to see the logs on a device. There are other ways that don’t require third party apps, but I find this to be the most convenient.

YMMV HTH.

I’ve not gotten a response from engineering.  I don’t know that this will be possible on iOS.  I’ve seen Android apps that can get the console log, so perhaps it’s just a file that you can read and email to yourself.  There is probably information on Google for this.

You could also develop your own print to capture you own log messages or use analytics to log messages to a server.   There is also the ability for your app to catch errors and get an event and you could trigger information transfers based on that.  You will have to search the forums to find out where we’ve given instructions on how to do it
