I'm working with a Windows Phone 8 application that writes logs to a file on the device. Is there a way to get access to that file? If not, what are my alternatives to seeing log information outside of using Visual Studio?

Yes you can read the file from isolated storage as long as it's a developer app installed on a developer unlocked phone. I use the Windows Phone Power Tools to do this, and there is a command line tool that comes with the SDK itself as well called IseTool.exe.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! What's the name of the command line tool? – djcouchycouch Dec 17 '12 at 19:22

It's IseTool.exe - I've added a link in my answer. – Paul Annetts Dec 17 '12 at 22:44

For your own access you can just use the advice in Paul's answer. If you want to get the files from other users you can use the Email Task and attach the log file to the email and have it sent to you or use some form of server logging.

1+1: bear in mind there's a 64K limit on the email task, and you can't use attachments. – Paul Annetts Dec 17 '12 at 17:13
