Hi. I ran start.ps1. In one terminal window I have this:

Listing devices on :9221
Connected :9222 to iPhone (4) (00008030-00164D3A023B402E)

In the other I have this:
Entering script directory C:\Programming\ios_safari-remote-debug-kit\ios-safari-remote-debug-kit\src
Running ios-webkit-debug-proxy...
Entering C:\Programming\ios_safari-remote-debug-kit\ios-safari-remote-debug-kit\src

Will try to launch a web server on http://localhost:8080
You can then open http://localhost:8080/Main.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/1
in a Chromium or WebKit based browser to start debugging.
Press Ctrl+C to exit.

Searching web server
Found Python 3, using it to serve the WebInspector

When I open http://localhost:9222/ I can see this:

Inspectable pages for iPhone (4):

1. https://something.com/
2. ?
3. ?
4. https://something-else.com/

However if I open http://localhost:8080/Main.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/1 I get an error message:
This site can’t be reachedlocalhost refused to connect.
Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I tried two different iPhones. One with iOS 15 and one with iOS 16. Same result.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Happens with both Chromium and Gnome Web

Is there any current way to do live debugging similar to what is mentioned here in VS Code? I have spent a good chunk of time trying to get an implementation of it working and am just unsure if it's possible. Thanks!

Hi, when trying to run start.ps1 and then opening the suggested URL Chrome indicates that the website is not online, this also happen when trying to open localhost:8080. After modifying start.ps1 to not look for Python (line 46) it works perfectly by using the NodeJS one.

Environment: Windows 10 with Python 3 and NodeJS v17.2.0
Used for: iPhone 7 with iOS 15.4

Hope this info is useful.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu x86_64
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

when i run "start.ps1" after install all requirment.
i got :
"Entering script directory /home/userName/ios-safari-remote-debug-kit/src
start.sh: line 11: $1: unbound variable

First of all thanks for making this software, it's proving to be a life-saver for me right now!

This issue seems similar to #2, although my situation is a little different.

I do have Python 3 installed, but I still get the Microsoft Store redirect when I try to run a python script from powershell. After doing some digging, it seems this was the culprit:

I think we have this problem when installing Python because in a new Windows installation the aliases are in the ON position as in image below. When turned on, Windows puts an empty or fake file named python.exe and python3.exe in the directory named %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps. This is the alias.

Then Microsoft put that directory at the top of the list in the "Path" environment variables.

When you enter "python" in cmd, it searches the directories listed in your "Path" environment variables page from top to bottom. So if you installed Python after a new Windows 10 install then get redirected to the Windows Store, it's because there are two python.exe's: The alias in the App Execution Alias page, and the real one wherever you installed Python. But cmd finds the App execution, alias python.exe, first because that directory is at the top of the Path.

Obnoxious of Windows to do this, but it's easy enough to fix once you see what's going on. I don't know if there's an easy programmatic way to handle this in-script, but maybe at least either alert the user to remove their aliases if the script doesn't actually run, or just move to the next fallback? Or even just adding a note in the docs about this potential pitfall.

(Someone suggested a programmatic solution to this issue for use in scripts, though I'm not sure if directly messing with the user's aliases like this is the best idea:)

Remove-Item $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python*.exe

I get this in the 2nd CMD Window thats opening:

While the powershell window instructs me to open the localhost:8080 stuff, it does not show errors:

Could not get any debuggin software to start yet.

Forgive me if I should know this, but is there a way to check memory usage with this? I'm trying to find out why my safari is crashing and I see a lot of other cool stuff, but not active memory.

Hi,

I followed the process on win11 and I get everything to work except that when I visit the page http://localhost:8080/Main.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/1, I have some errors.

It turns out there is a missing folder in \ios-safari-remote-debug-kit\src\WebKit\Source\WebInspectorUI\UserInterface.

It seems to be missing the WebKitAdditions folder and from there, I don't know what I can do...

Any idea ?

Thank you !

I'm getting Internal errors on Web Inspector when running:

I've seen it appear in other areas of web inspector

I guess that's a problem with ios-webkit-debug-proxy?

Host OS is Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04) BTW.

Is this an expected behavior? I couldn't see the content of the webpage. Thanks for the great work

The location for InspectorBackendCommands.js files have changed upstream, causing the generate scripts to fail. WebKit/WebKit@98bfc3e

Hi!

Thanks for this probably very fidgety OS project. I can see my connected device, but I can't debug anything. What information should I provide to debug this?

I see my iPad listed on :9221 under :9222, but following the URL the page stays blank, and when running ./start.ps1 none of the tabs contain any information and the titular error is hit.
