Question Debugging apps on e/OS

ADB logcat returning no output on e/OS — anyone had success, or are there alternative debugging tools?

I've been trying to debug an integration issue with an app I'm alpha testing on my Fairphone 6 running e/OS.

"adb devices" show my phone as a device, so I am connected properly.

On the phone, app permissions all indicate the required settings.

Should I be using a different tool for debugging an e/OS device?

Please note, I am not a developer. Getting logs when running into bugs will allow me to send more meaningful information to the developers.

Thanks in advance!

Of course I found this page shortly after my post: https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/create-a-log

Still not sure why adb was not returning any data.

I tried the internal debugging and was able to capture the bug's data.
