Should logs be disabled before releasing app?

Question

I am about to release an app. Should I remove Log statements and e.printStackTrace() within the catch statements ?

Answer 1

Logs are essential troubleshooting resources, even for deployed software.

I would limit logging for production releases (perhaps even limit it to "only log in emergencies"). But I would not categorically say "no logging".

Here is a good discussion (with some good guidelines):

• How do I enable/disable log levels in Android?

PS: Having said that, I hasten to add:

No, you should not have any "debug" or "informational" logging in a production release.

Which is exactly what the Android documentation, cited in the above links, also says.
