Show HN: Inspect – DevTool to debug Safari and WebViews on iOS devices • Hacker News Board

Seconded. I've been working on a webapp that's meant to work on iOS and I haven't figured out any way to debug it from my Linux machine, even with my phone being jailbroken.

Any plan for Linux support in the future?

:wave Kenneth here. Linux support is on the roadmap, and can be supported via https://libimobiledevice.org/ but not all functionality might be possible, as libimobiledevice isn't 100% on pair with Apple's own driver that's provided via iTunes on MacOS and Windows.

Would love to get some help testing this as I'm not a Linux user myself. Shoot me an email at kenneth@auchenberg.dk if you are interested!

Does this use the existing iOS Chrome proxy or is it built from scratch?

This is a new pure JavaScript implementation. No native dependencies. See more on https://inspect.dev/why
