Collect console logs for iOS devices

Mostly I work in a windows environment and it is necessary to get console logs for iOS devices to find out the root cause of the issue. We can get iOS app crash log from this path ( C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DSS-Iphone 6 ) in windows machine using iTunes. But we need an entire app log to understand what goes wrong in the application. And after some research, I found iTools which allow you to manage iOS devices and also show entire device logs. This tool helps me to do my testing. As per my understanding, this tool will not run without iTunes. iTools was also affected by the latest iTunes update. Now I have found some other tool called 'iOSLogInfo'. Download and run iOSLogInfo to get console log for iOS devices in windows. Requirements:- iOSLogInfo ( Download link - https://www.blackberry.com/blackberrytraining/web/KB_Resources/KB36986_iOSLogInfo_4.3.4.zip    ) iTunes for windows Steps:- Download and save iOSLogInfo z
