Android users already get an option to report crashes to the developer, but not all bugs result in crashes and therefore we currently don't have a way to diagnose those.

For example, I was confused to find that the app said I wasn't connected to Relaynet (screenshot below), when in fact the phone was connected to the Internet and the public gateway was accessible. (I had to restart the app to fix this)

However we do this, we need a way to allow users to send logs and other info (e.g., Android version, device model, private gateway address). We could, for instance, create a text file that the user will be able to share via email with us (though if we could somehow leverage Android crash reports, that'd be even better).

We can't leverage Android crash reports for this, it's a closed system.

We either use a third-party service for this (which we likely don't want), or we need to write our own log storage system, and add a send email button that attaches the app logs.

Indeed, I wouldn't send that data to a third-party service. I guess extracting the app logs and sending it via email (along with some system info) is the way to go.
