Debugging on the device

Three questions ...

1) Is there an app on the connect store that can read the ./logs/myProgram.TXT files on your device?
2) Is it possible to read files using the Garmin mobile app?
3) After side-loading my .prg, I eject the device, unplug the usb cable & then try my app.
Is there a way to debug, keeping the device connected to the PC (a special cable maybe)?
It's a bit annoying connecting/disconnecting, especially given the cable is so short + my PC is below my desk.

Unfortunately the answer to all your questions is no. :(

Best is to debug using the simulator. I agree there are things one can only test on a real device, but unfortunately this is the way it is.

I do that but, in the short time I've been playing with the FR230, I've hit situations where simulations were ok but, crashed the real device or behaved differently on the device.
Here's my latest issue: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?368985-Picker-crash

I wonder if a powered usb port expander would work.
Turn it on/off after safely ejecting to convince the FR230 to connect/disconnect.
I probably have one of these expander thingies lying around at home.

BTW, I've come over to Garmin from Pebble.
In the pebble env, you can upload programs to the watch wirelessly & also wirelessly monitor debug statements.

Why not just a USB extension cable?
