getting stack trace for app that was not installed through Google Play

Question

I sent my app to several users via Email. It can be installed like this on several test user devices quite easily.

Now I need to get the stack trace from a crash of the app similar to the trace that is available for apps sold through Google Play.

Are there any "comfortable" possibilities?

While I have my own logging which I write to a log file so the test users can send me my own created logs, I certainly cannot catch all crash situations myself.

Many thanks!
