How To Collect Logs From iOS Devices
For collecting crash logs or for observing logs of a device in a real time, one needs:
- Run iTools.
- Connect device to a computer. The program will identify the connected device and then one can start working with it.
- Go to the tab “Toolbox”.
In order to view and save logs in a real time, one should run “Real Time Log” which is found under “Advanced Features”.
For viewing of crash logs, one needs to push the button “Crash Log”, which will open an explorer that will contain directories with crash logs, from where logs can be moved to a more convenient for storing place.
As we see, the process of removing the log files is quite simple and straightforward. A simple and intuitive iTools interface allows doing it very quickly, without putting much effort.
The main benefit, comparing to other tools, is the possibility to view and record log files in a real time. iTools is a widely specialized program which meets the requirements and needs of the users on various operation systems. The only drawback is that one should use other programs to view crash logs, because iTools doesn’t provide this option.
