For a one-off bug investigation - if the user wants to help, just make a special build with logging enabled (or whatever changes you need), sign it with your release certificate, and email it to him/her. No need to upload this version to Market.

I've got an issue with a paid app I've got on the Market Place (BitCalc Pro).

It runs fine on my HTC Desire and runs fine on emulated 2.2, 2.3 and 2.3.3 devices. However a user reports it doesn't work on a Samsung Galaxy S II running 2.3.3.

My code performs a calculation within a TRY block and this is throwing an exception, which I CATCH and display a user friendly error message.

I don't have access to a real SGS2 device so how can I fault find this issue? How can the maths work fine in the emulator but fail on a real device? Not sure how this can be hardware dependent?

My source code is at home so I can't take a look at the moment but the thoughts I've got at the moment are :

- Get user to confirm the free version works ok. The functionality that fails should be the same in the free app. - Print the full exception description rather than my tidy error message so I can find out exactly what exception is being thrown.

I don't really want to keep releasing new versions to all users while I fault find. What is the best approach to take with getting a "debug" version to my user? Is it acceptable to release a "dev" version for free onto the market place with more verbose error reporting?

I can probably post a code snippet later if required.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
