Safari Web inspector keeps disconnecting

Question

I\'ve Safari 8.0.6 with iOS 8.3 on my iPad, while debugging through Web Inspector on my Mac (10.10.3), the connection keeps on

Answer 1

This is only necessary for physical devices. Physical devices can be forcefully disconnected by Safari if the device's battery is full. ("Full battery? Well then, let's just disconnect you as you don't need to charge anymore -- and there goes your debugging session too...")

You will want to select Connect via Network in Develop > [device], and then attach your debugger to the page you want to debug. If you do not have the Develop menu in Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and select Show Develop menu in menu bar.

If this doesn't work, you may try upgrading your OS/Safari through the App Store first.

If things are still breaking, disconnect your iOS device. Go into your iOS device into Settings > Safari > Web Inspector and turn it off and then back on. Force quit out of Safari. Re-plug in your iOS device and start up Safari again and re-attach your iOS device through Safari > Develop menu.
