Remove Excess Personal Data from Log Files.
Did you verify whether this issue has already been reported here?
_Yes
Tell us about the problem
[In general, the log and console files are filled with un-useful info, which makes it hard to spot useful data.]
More specifically, the Main log file (Help>Show Logs> Main_xxx_xx_xxxx) contains the name of every app on my personal phone.

Since users are asked to submit logs to Github and other help sites, it's a good opportunity to embarrass people unnecessarily.
I imagine other data is in there, too.

@EdJones the debuggableAppsList is entirely controllable from the user device - it is an information that can be obtained via the state ADB service as well. That said, I would say that it is up to the developer to take care of any information that could be exposed from his own devices * actions.
Still, I see your point so marking the issue as a possible enhancement feature.
@NickIliev Thanks. After a year at this, I have no idea what a state ADB service is, or how to set ath debuggableAppsList.
I guess I'm not clear who Sidekick is being developed for. They're talking about bringing in drag-and-drop app-building, but then there's a rather high level of knowledge assumed if you just want to test or deploy an app you have.
