  • Updated

A debug file is primarily sent via email,

the links below contain articles that give steps on how a user can send a debug email from android and iOS devices to the support team.

However, this is not always possible, because the file might be too big (>25MB on Gmail and >10MB on other emails), email blocks/delays.

This article elaborates on a option of getting a debug file, i.e. remotely from the Users mobile device to our computers using TeamViewer.

 

TeamViewer

The user must first install a Teamviewer Quicksupport app on their Skynamo devices.

Refer to the link below:

9. Drag and drop the debug file from the right to the left side of the screen.

  • Android 11 and above

For Android 11 devices, however, the steps above do not work. This is because Google made some big changes to the Scoped Storage functionality that it began to implement with Android 10. One of the biggest user-facing changes is removing access to the "Android/data" folder, blocking all apps (including file managers) from accessing any data within it. Therefore you will need to follow a different path to retrieve the debug using TeamViewer.

Please see the following article here on how to get past this.
