    Hi there,
    Player.log is not generating in my game project and I can't find the option to enable Player log in the Player settings. Is this option missing in macOS Silicon editor?
    My Editor version: 2021.3.29f1

    Edit: Now I can see "Use Player Log" option in the player settings and it is enabled but still no player.log generating.

    It's not in here?
    ~/Library/Logs/Company Name/Product Name/Player.log

    Company Name & Product Name are set in Player Settings.

    No, player.log file is not in the location.

    The "Use Player Log" setting is enabled?

    The manual also mentions this:
    Note: You can also use the Console.app utility to find the log file.

    Yes this option is enabled. I also checked on Console.app. There is no Player.log file either.

    Then I'm stumped. I think the log should be created even without anything explicitly getting logged, but try adding a Debug.Log() and LogError() at the start of the app to check if that makes it appear.

    Looking like my mistake. maybe this log only generates in Player build. Thank you for your help :).
