What is Capture?

This guide is for app developers. If you are a tester, please visit the tester guide for more information about testing apps under development.

The Capture feature is currently only available on Android apps.

Overview​

The Capture feature allows you to take screenshots to easily submit bug reports and other errors. When taking a screenshot of an app under development, the DeployGate app automatically obtains app and device information. This information is shared between developers and testers to assist with debugging.
