Question - Licensing

[sgruby]

Have you thought about your plans for licensing PulsePro? If I wanted to distribute the app to some members of my QA team, how would I go about licensing it? I'm the only iOS/Mac developer, but work with a handful of QA/support folks that I'd like to be able to read logs. With NSLooger, I just sent them the app and was good.

It'll depend on how it goes. I might either make it free or turn it into a proper commercial product. As for now, please feel free to distribute it to the QA team. Do they need the app though? The scenario I had in mind was: QA uses a build with Pulse installed, when they see a defect, they export the logs and attach them to the ticket. A developer can them download and view the logs using the app.

My setup is quite unique; I'm trying to make QA (they also handle support sometimes) more self sufficient so that they can do testing and grab what they need in real time without having to grab the log off the device. By reading the logs, they can determine if the problem is an app problem or an API problem so that I don't have to be the gatekeeper for every issue!

Pulse's network logging is the reason I switched loggers...makes it easy for them to see what is going on!

In our team, the QA folks use the in-app logs browser. We added an option to display it using a shake gesture. Usually, all they need is to just check the latest network requests and the in-app browser is sufficient for that.

I use the shake gesture in sort of a similar manner in that it grabs a screenshot (or video) as well as the log and sends them via an internal API. I'll have to see if that will suffice and have them read logs later; the remote logging makes it easier to see lots of data at once when they're running the apps.

The recent version uses MIT license. I'm going to close it.
