I've android and ios app. They run on same application server on Linux. I want to capture the packets when some users are trying to log in in the app. How'd i proceed? I'm thinking of doing with tcpdump and putting that pcap file into wireshark. Will this work?

Are you trying to embed packet capture in your app, even if the machine isn't plugged into a desktop or laptop computer, or can you plug the phone into a desktop or laptop computer when the users are trying to log into the app?

I don't have access to user's phone. But I guess they all hit the web server so I want to capture their packets.

Then you should capture on the server. The resulting capture file can be opened in Wireshark running on a different machine.
