In some cases you will find that a web application misbehaves on an Android device, but not on a desktop. This can make it more difficult to obtain the console logs to point to the issue. Follow the below instructions to obtain these logs.

  1. On the Android device, enable Debugging
    • Tap ‘Build Number’ 7 times (Settings > About phone > Software information > Build number)
  2. Enable “USB” Debugging” under Developer Options
  3. Plug the Android device into your desktop PC via USB
  4. If prompted, “Allow USB debugging” when prompted
  5. On your desktop chrome, open ‘chrome://inspect/#devices’ in the URL bar
  6. Select ‘Discover USB devices’
  7. Select your device, click ‘inspect’ (you may need to click the specific URL/tab that is open)

from here you should see the console log and network. You may also wish to save the HAR file for offline diagnostics.
