Debugging release version of Android app

Question

I have an app that works fine in debug mode, but when I create a signed apk and install it on the same phone, some features do not work.

Is there a way to get console messages from the release version?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

@Matt If it is working fine in your simulator while running in debug mode then obviously it should work with your apk in mobile device as well. Actually elaborate your question.

Answer 2

In you release gradle build change to this

  release {
        multiDexEnabled true
        minifyEnabled false
        shrinkResources false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    debug {
        multiDexEnabled true
        minifyEnabled false
        shrinkResources false
    }

hope this is helpful .
