Hi everyone, I'm the main developer of ACRA and just read this topic after receiving messages from devs who could not get their logcat anymore on JB devices.
Until now, ACRA was checking that the READ_LOGS permission was granted before exec-ing logcat and retrieving DropBoxManager events. Starting with the next beta (4.3.0b1 has just been released so it will be 4.3.0b2 in a few days), there will be a condition to ignore the unavailability of the permission if the device has an api level greater or equal to 16. So, you will be able to get the logcat traces from YOUR app. Even if you don't add the READ_LOGS permission to your manifest. You lose some data from exterior events happening while your app is running, but you won't scare your users with this permission. That is... if you target JB devices or consider getting logcat traces only from JB devices is enough ;-) About DropBoxManager, nothing will be collected anymore starting with JB. I don't think this will harm much devs as it was an unknown feature (except Ievgenii Nazaruk).
