Crash Reporting

Providing logs on Android TV devices can be challenging for users as it requires Android developer tools. Issues can be challenging to replicate for developers and crash logs help a lot with this.

We don't want to force users to report their logs to a third-party and therefore we won't report anything by default. When a crash occured the app will show a dialog and ask to report the logs.

All crash reports are retained for 30 days and can only be reviewed by a small group of developers inside the Android TV team.

More information can be found in the issue about this change.
