Ages ago I had to debug an issue on production, a different kind of production as the app was installed in terminals across 3 giant supermarkets. I had to figure out why sometimes the game gives too many prices than anticipated. It took me 3 days, I would spend the entire night debugging at home then install the new version in the terminals the next morning at 7 am before opening hours and observe. finally found out that I was missing a crucial step which is to flush the cache for the data to be persisted. The app was written in Adobe btw
