Device Diagnostics
Overview
When your app is actively used in real world conditions, you rely on the users’ phones and tablets to be working properly, but things can easily go wrong with real devices in the field. Settings can be misconfigured, storage space can run out, data coverage can be unreliable, to mention a few typical issues.
In lieu of full-scale mobile device management, it is useful to have lightweight diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures to ensure that devices are working properly. JourneyApps' device diagnostics check a few of the critical device conditions, with visual cues and standard error codes.
The diagnostics can be accessed in the mobile app by selecting "Diagnostics" from the hamburger menu.
