[FEATURE REQUEST] Log file in debug mode, accesible out of ScSt

[jesmrec]

Problem/Context:

When the app crashes in the beginning, it's not posible to open Settings to reach logs and check what's going on.

Suggested solution:

Some way to store the logs file outside of the Scoped Storage, so it's accesible without using Android Studio. Only available in DEBUG variant. Current location:

Is this feasible?? (needs research)

As idea, a new brandable option to create file in a different location (f.ex. Downloads).

TASKS

• Research (if needed)
• Create branch feature/feature_name
• Development tasks
  • Implement whatever
  • ...
• Code review and apply changes requested
• Design test plan
• QA
• Merge branch feature/feature_name into master

Regular device, not connected to Android Studio, but a special debug APK we can provide when requested?

oB provides debug builds. In case this feature is feasible, it will be available for every debug build. But, needs research first.

@DeepDiver1975 do we have a decision here?

[DeepDiver1975]

Crash reporting is done via google play console - why is this not an option here?

[NannaBarz]

Because the app is provided via the customers Play Store.

Because the app is provided via the customers Play Store.

In any case, their IT admin could get these crash logs from their Play Console account and send them to us, that would help us a lot and make this issue (reachable logs out of scoped storage) less prior

[NannaBarz]

I think their IT Admin is another legal department... Not sure if we can get this
