A DevTools proxy that translates Chrome's Remote Debugging Protocol into WebKit's remote inspector protocol, letting developers debug MobileSafari and UIWebViews on real and simulated iOS devices over a websocket connection. It communicates with iOS devices via the usbmuxd daemon and is written in C.
Use cases
- debug Safari on an iPhone from Chrome DevTools on my desktop
- inspect UIWebViews in an iOS app remotely
- remotely debug web pages on a real iOS device over USB
- use Chrome DevTools protocol with WebKit on iOS simulator
- debug mobile Safari web inspector from Linux or Windows
When to choose
- you need to debug Safari or UIWebViews on iOS devices using Chrome DevTools
- you develop web content for iOS and work on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you want DevTools-protocol tooling (e.g., Puppeteer-style automation) against iOS WebKit
When to avoid
- you only debug desktop Safari or Chrome (use built-in DevTools instead)
- you need to debug Android Chrome (use adb and chrome://inspect)
- you require a maintained high-level automation library rather than a low-level proxy
