Details

As a user, I should be able to share debug information about my device to developers without using developer tooling or a computer.

This can be done in privacy-preserving ways, and other applications have done this before already, most notably Signal (three-dot menu -> Settings -> Help -> Debug log).

We also have a device logging component RFC draft that could also work.

Examples of the kind of information that would help with debugging a user report:

  • User-visible settings enabled
  • Logcat
  • Experiments enabled

I've noticed that jackyzy823 has a nice comment of instructions to request logs from users, this is something that should ideally be a one line instruction (and as mentioned, not involve a computer).

N.B: We have a similar doc to retrieve crash information, but these bullet points sum up the friction a user has to go through today so we can help them.
