Device Logs

Device logs provide valuable insights into the behavior of an application and the device it runs on. Capturing these logs is essential for debugging, diagnosing performance issues, and understanding unexpected failures.

  • For Android, we capture ADB logs, which offer a detailed record of system events, app activities, and debugging messages.
  • For iOS, we provide the same logs you’d typically see in Xcode, which include system logs, and console output.

Getting to the Device Logs​

Open a Mobile Device in a Mobile Studio session. If you need guidance, refer to the Getting Started with Mobile Devices section.

Click on the Logs tab. This will open a panel where you can view real-time device logs.

You can utilize the available features:

  • Search: Quickly filter logs to find specific events or errors.
  • Download: Save logs for further analysis or sharing with your team.
  • Clear View: Reset the log panel to focus on fresh logs.

info

You can configure device logs to match the format displayed in the Console app on macOS. This can help to ensure consistency with the logs you would typically see when debugging an iOS device locally.

To enable this, add the following properties to the application.properties file on your cloud server:

cloud.server.ios-v2-logs.enabled=true --> Enables Console-style logging (default: false, uses syslog instead)
cloud.server.ios-v2-logs.pid-focus=false --> (Optional) → If true, filters logs by process ID (default: false).
cloud.server.ios-v2-logs.disabled-on-older-devices=true --> (Optional) → If true, disables this feature on older iOS devices (default: true).
