Toggle verbose logging from console tab directly

[jaumard]

Would be really useful to have access to native logs on demand.

For example on my app I had to do native plugins to support IoT devices, once in a while I have a crash inside of those... And I'm unable to see the logs of this crash right away.

Would be nice for those cases to have a toggle accessible to enable verbose console and see the native logs, like this I'll be able to see the native crash after they appen easily.

Let me know if I'm not clear ^^

Hey @jaumard . This is a use case we've thought a little about but more details would be great. Are your native plugins up on github or available anywhere? Is this just exception logging or are you using platform logging calls (like ios os_log?).

Thanks in advance!

Hi @pq ! Nice to see there some talk about this already :)
On my side the usage is a bit different from what you already talked I think.
I don't really care about native manual logs (with Log.i/d/e on Android, or print/NSLOG iOS), it's nice to have but not really mandatory (for me ^^) but what's really important for me it's when I have an unexpected crash, to be able to see the stack trace easily (NPE, runtime error...) being able to toggle verbose log will allow me to see the crash directly without trying to reproduce it on Xcode/AS later (or having another windows just for native logs...)

Hope it help :) maybe you'll be able to detect crash and by default put it on the console, because for me it shouldn't be ignore ^^

Thanks @jaumard!

If you do a flutter run in verbose mode, does the console capture the crashes of interest?

Sorry @pq ! I forget this one and didn't reply, yes generally verbose log catch the native crash
