Did you bundle a debug version? Does it work if you build and run locally from the editor?
Defold doesn’t have such a naming standard, so I’m curious what your code looks like?

On my PC, use Ctrl + B, working right.
this’s my project code
Maybe i need install other software? like Cocos, i must install VS2017.
@Mathias_Westerdahl Hi, i use Object::Function target to main.script file and init function.
In here, this not rigorous, if you are troubled, I am sorry.
The code looks ok, as proven by you mention that it works fine on PC.
How do you install and run the .apk on your Android device?
You don’t need to install any additional tools.

I use QQ (Tencent chat software) send my .apk file, remove old app, install and open new app.
Manually all.
You haven’t answered this question. Can you please confirm that you selected Debug in the Android bundle dialog.
Hi, I add a sound compoment on app init function, the sound is right work.
Well I’m really at a loss and I can’t explain why you don’t see the log entries. Have you tried another phone? Can you share the APK?
I use my old phone to test. not show print info, and sound is right again.
This’s test .apk: armv7-android/Mobile game1
I bundled an Android debug version, installed it and ran it with logcat enabled:
MALLTM4314:/Users/bjornritzl/Downloads/armv7-android
$ adb install Mobile\ game1/Mobile\ game1.apk
Success
MALLTM4314:/Users/bjornritzl/Downloads/armv7-android

Strange that you can’t get it work. I hope it magically solves itself! 
Are you certain it’s the correct .apk you’re running? (e.g. uninstall/reinstall/run the same package name)
If you try to use this script to launch the apk?

Hi all, I have the same issue, no debug printing, even bundled, also tried with adb logcat defold:V *:S , same result. I see this issue was marked as solved, was there ever a return on the solution? Thx.
Sorry for reviving such an old thread but at least there will be an answer now, I found what I had to do here :
For some reason I have to enable the appropriate logging level with
adb shell setprop log.tag.defold VERBOSE
And now when I launch logcat like this
adb logcat -s "defold"
it shows the print debug lines.
