How to see realtime log of an android application published in playstore

It's quite natural that many issues may arise from a published app in the playstore and it may be difficult to predict the bug without seeing the log. Sometimes we deliver the app to the client which is published in the playstore but the client may say the app is closed unexpectedly while using it. The client may not be able to give needful info to find out the bug. But it's our responsibility to fix the bug in the next release (version).

This is not only the requirement of an android app, it's a common requirement in all mobile apps development!

What is the possible way to get the realtime log of an android app which is published in the playstore??

There is a web app called realtimelogging which can show the realtime log from any application. We can deploy the same copy of this app in our own server.

Sometimes we may want to debug or collect log of android app that's not in Playstore because we may share .apk file before publishing it in to playstore. This realtimelogging app is suitable in all scenarios.

How it works :- It takes input log from the device using a service url and pushes that data to the browser page. So we have to post the log data to the service url of this app. We can also view logs from specific device/user.

So if your client is checking the app with a specific logged in user then we can specifically see the log of that user. It helps us to understand what he does and if there is any exception occurred in the app.

Sometimes some exceptions/errors occur in a specific android version, with this app we can see the logs from specific device.
We can open multiple browser tabs to monitor different user/device logs at the same time.

Another common best practice is use an async call to the service which also keeps the order of execution so that it will not affect the performance of the app.
