Hi, are iPhone app log files stored in iCloud? If so, how long are app log files retained in the iPhone for? I’m looking for a log file that was in my iPhone roughly 20 days before an iCloud backup.

We saw some traces of iCloud files in various logs, but unfortunately have not documented that. I'd recommend you to start with analysis of sysdiagnose logs; instructions are here:
