How to collect device console logs for iOS devices

Collecting device logs from an iOS device can be hard without a tool like iTools in Windows system. We found a solution for that. With this method we can collect logs from an real device using command line.

 Requirements:

  • iOSLogInfo (download by clicking here.)
  • iTunes For Windows.

Steps:

  1. Download and save the iOSLoginfo zip download by clicking here.
  2. Extract the zip file contents.
  3. Ensure iTunes for Windows is installed.
  4. Connect your iOS device to a PC.
  5. From a command prompt navigate to the location you extracted the above contents and run one of the following to start a live log collection session:
    • sdsiosloginfo.exe -dOR to write the contents to a log file run:
    • sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > c:\ios_log.log

Additional Commands available:

Start logging: sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > C:\Folder\iOS_Console_Log.log

Pull disk_usage: sdsdeviceinfo.exe -q com.apple.disk_usage -x > C:\Folder\iOS_Disk_Usage.xml

Pull Device Stats: sdsdeviceinfo.exe -x > C:\Folder\iOS_Device_Stats.xml
