iOS crashes: How to share logs
Unlike Android and Desktop, sharing logs for iOS is a bit more complicated. Follow these steps:
- Open
Settings
on your device (not Brave’s settings). - Go to
Privacy & Security
. - Go to
Analytics & Improvements
. - Select
Analytics Data
. - Pull down to reveal the search bar and type
Client
. - Find logs that don’t say
client.wakeups
and click on them. - Tap the share button (top right on iPhone) and choose
Save to Files
. - Choose a location and save the file.
- Navigate to your saved file in Files.
- Rename the file by replacing
.ips
with.txt
(e.g.,Client-2023-05-08-101535.txt
). If prompted, confirm the extension change.
Sharing your logs:
- Option 1 (Private): Tag Mattches or Michal in your topic and ask them to DM you so you can share the crash reports privately. This ensures fewer people see your logs and may take longer.
- Option 2 (Faster): Upload the
.txt
file directly to your topic so developers can review it faster. While it’s generally safe, Brave’s Privacy/Security team recommends option 1 for maximum caution.
Choose the method you’re most comfortable with.
