Logging

The Airship SDK provides configurable log levels to help you debug issues without overwhelming the console. By default, the log level is set to Info for development builds and Error for production builds to ensure clean logs in a live environment.

Log levels

The following log levels are available, ordered from most to least verbose.

Configuring log levels

You can set the log level in the Airship config options that are passed during takeOff. This setting acts as a minimum, and only logs at that level and higher will be logged.

// Available log levels: verbose, debug, info, warning, none
Airship.takeOff({
  default: {
    logLevel: "verbose"
  },
  ...
});

Log privacy levels

For better security in production environments, you can control the visibility of log contents using privacy levels. This is especially useful when you need to debug a release build without exposing sensitive information.

private (default)

This is the default setting, designed to protect data in a production environment.

public

This setting increases log visibility, making it easier to capture detailed information from release builds. To ensure visibility in production builds, verbose and debug messages are automatically elevated to the info log level.

Setting the privacy level

You can set the privacy level in the Airship config options that are passed during takeOff.

Airship.takeOff({
    default: {
        logLevel: "verbose",
        ios: {
          logPrivacyLevel: "public"
        },
        android: {
          logPrivacyLevel: "public"
        }
    },
    ...
});
