Device logs

Device logs are system logs specific to your application generated by iOS or Android. They can help you access your application logs and are especially helpful if the application under test crashes during test execution.

Device logs are enabled by default. To disable device logs, use the capability as shown in the following code:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("deviceLogs", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"deviceLogs" : "false",
	},
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("deviceLogs", "false");

$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "deviceLogs" => "false",
    ),
)

desired_cap = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"deviceLogs" : "false",
	},
}

capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "deviceLogs" => "false",
    },
}

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.deviceLogs", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.deviceLogs': 'false'
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.deviceLogs", "false");

$caps = array(
    "browserstack.deviceLogs" => "false"
)

desired_cap = {
	"browserstack.deviceLogs" : "false"
}

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["browserstack.deviceLogs"] = "false"

Access device logs from the dashboard:

The device logs can be viewed from the test sessions details page on the App Automate Dashboard

You can also view or download device logs using Other Logs > Device > View raw logs or Download logs:

Access device logs using REST API:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" -X GET "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/builds/<build-id>/sessions/<session-id>/devicelogs"
