How do you read logs on a Tizen TV emulator?

Question

Although the mobile emulator works fine for sdb, I cannot get it to work for the Tizen TV emulator. I'm running a Tizen 6.5 TV emulator in "Developing" mode on a Windows machine. Neither sdb dlog or sdb shell is working:

$ sdb shell ls
$ sdb dlog

Both commands generate kernel messages indicating an error with the smack security settings and some library libkUEPUser.

[ 2905.222855] audit: type=1400 audit(1645111214.210:236): lsm=SMACK fn=smack_inode_permission action=denied subject="User" object="System" requested=r pid=2598 comm="systemd" name=".wm_ready" dev="tmpfs" ino=18549
...
[reporter] pHandle Error : /usr/lib/libkUEPUser.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[smack-logger] failed to send report

How can I access the log messages my application is emitting?

Short Answer: You Can't

From the Tizen TV FAQ

This section lists limitations you might encounter while working with a Tizen TV emulator or a Samsung Smart TV. Common issues

sdb shell is not available
Cannot check the log messages
Cannot use debug mode

You can disable SMACK with a kernel flag in the QEMU startup, but I haven't been able to get it to completely boot after doing so.

Probably best to use a different logger than the Tizen logger.

Serilog works fine for my use case; its debug sink can at least send messages to the Visual Studio console.

using Serilog;

Serilog.Log.Logger = new Serilog.LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Debug().CreateLogger();
Serilog.Log.Information("Tizen TV application starting");
