Why Safari shows “No Inspectable Applications” during remote debugging with iOS 6 device?

Question

When I connect my iOS 6 device for remote debugging for testing my mobile web application, The safari develop menu with my device name shows \"No Inspectable Applications\".

Answer 1

If you just installed XCode 9, do not forget to install Safari 11, or you will see "no inspecable applications"

Answer 2

In my case, I had Safari 10.0.2, running on El Capitan and when trying to run apps on the Simulator (iphone 7), I did not even have the Simulator option in the Safari's Develop menu. Updating to Sierra, solved the problem.

Answer 3

I recently had problems debugging a UIWebView in desktop Safari – and it turns out the problem was with my Xcode configuration for the app. The most recent build had been provisioned for production, rather than for Testing. After re-building the app for Testing, it showed up once more in the Safari Debug menu :-)

Answer 4

I went to Settings > Safari > Advanced and toggled the Web Inspector switch from on to off to on again. That did it for me!

Answer 5

I was trying to get this working via the iOS simulator and none of the previously stated answers worked, even though I tried them all. Instead, running the following worked:

npm install -g ios-sim

After that, once I started the application, the simulator appeared under the Develop menu on Safari.

Answer 6

If you have private browsing enabled in Settings > Safari, you will not be able to use remote debugging. If you turned off private browsing, it will work like a charm.
