- Debugging Flutter Apps in the cloud

Sometimes your app behaves badly. In the worst cases, it even can be crashed.

In such a case you need to debug your app. The simplest and most popular way to debug is to look at the application logs. It’s a text output from your app. This output comprises the output of your code (like print() method calls) as well as from the output of libraries you are using. by Myroslava Drobnych
