Obtaining Secured iOS Apps Logs
You can configure your iOS apps to enable “diagnostic logs” in the app. You can use Appdome to enable diagnostic logs in iOS apps when you build the app on Appdome.
Appdome is a no-code mobile app security platform designed to add security features to mobile apps.
Appdome’s no-code mobile app security platform offers mobile developers, DevSec, and security professionals a convenient and reliable way to protect Android and iOS apps without coding. When a user clicks “Build My App,” Appdome leverages a microservice architecture filled with 1000s of security plugins, and an adaptive code generation engine that matches the correct required plugins to the development environment, frameworks, and methods in each app.
Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured apps. There is no SDK and no library to manually code or implement in the app. The Appdome technology adds the relevant standards, frameworks, stores, and logic to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.
In order to gather iOS application logs, you’ll need:

- Console
- USB cable connected to an iOS device

You should enable your iOS application diagnostic logs whenever you want to view helpful and detailed information on why the app is experiencing problems. Here is more information from Apple on how you can enable logs and why they are useful.
