How to disable cache on IOS safari?

Question

Is there a way to disable caching on ipad/iphone? I want to run some automated tests for non-cache experience.

Answer 1

There is a way to effectively disable caching on iphone/ipad/IOS.

Install Fiddler on a windows desktop, and allow remote computers to connect:

In IOS, setup a proxy under your wifi connection settings, pointing to to the IP address of the computer you are running fiddler on, and on port 8888 (assuming you haven't changed it from default in fiddler):

By now, fiddler should be intercepting all web requests your device is making.

You can now disable caching from the Rules -> Performance menu in fiddler.
