Summary
When the app encounters a failure, logs should be automatically sent to the developer for debugging. Additionally, users should have the ability to manually send logs along with a description of the error they experienced.
Features / Details
- Automatic log reporting on failure: When the app crashes or encounters an unhandled error, automatically collect and send relevant logs to the developer
- User-facing "Send Logs" button: Add a UI button that allows users to manually report issues
- Error description field: When the user clicks the button, show a form where they can describe what went wrong
- Log collection: Gather relevant application logs, error traces, and system context to include in the report
Use Cases
- App crashes unexpectedly — developer receives logs automatically without user intervention
- User encounters a bug or unexpected behavior — they click "Send Logs", describe the issue, and submit it
- Developer can correlate automatic crash reports with user-submitted descriptions for faster debugging
Implementation Considerations
- Decide on log transport mechanism (email, webhook, external service, etc.)
- Define what log data to collect (last N lines, error traces, system info)
- Consider privacy — ensure no sensitive user data is sent without consent
- Add rate limiting to prevent log spam
- UI placement of the "Send Logs" button (settings page, error screen, persistent footer, etc.)
