How to debug Android Release builds?

Sometimes a crash might happen only on Release builds but not on Debug builds. You might want to check the Android logs during the app crash.

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file

Add the following properties to application tag

android:debuggable="true"
tools:ignore="HardcodedDebugMode"

Open app/build.gradle and add debuggable true to the release type

buildTypes {  
 release {  
 	debuggable true  
 	signingConfig signingConfigs.debug  
	minifyEnabled enableProguardInReleaseBuilds  
	proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android.txt"), "proguard-rules.pro"  
 }  
}
