Step 3: Select your device from the list on the left.
Step 4: Click the Open Console button to view the device logs on real devices in real-time.
Great points by Shashank and Priyanka! For those who prefer command line tools, you can also access device logs on real devices:
For Android: Use adb logcat. Open a terminal and run:
adb logcat
Ensure you have ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and your device connected.
For iOS: Use idevicesyslog from the libimobiledevice package. Run:
idevicesyslog
Ensure you have libimobiledevice installed and your device connected. This method also allows you to view the device logs on real devices in real-time.
