Google Chrome for Android Remote Debugging - “localhost:9222” Not Available

Question

I\'m following the steps to enable remote debugging (https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/debugging). When I reach step 4, Chrome for Desktop returns with \"This web

Answer 1

I found that I had to have USB debugging enabled on Chrome and on my device.

1. Chrome for Mobile - Settings > Developer Tools > [x] Enable USB Web debugging
2. Device - Settings > Developer options > [x] USB debugging
3. Connect Device to Computer

4. Enable port forwarding on Computer

   C:\adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote

5. Go to http://localhost:9222 in Chrome for Computer

Answer 2

Can you please provide the version of Chrome on Android you are using? Open "about:version" URL and please provide values of "Google Chrome" an "Application" fields.

And can you please check the following -- after you turn on USB Web debugging (step 2 of the doc), what this sequence of commands outputs to you:

adb root
adb shell cat /proc/net/unix | grep chrome_devtools_remote

(The idea is to check, if the remote debugging socket opens on the device after you turn on USB Web debugging)

Answer 3

I found a solution to this problem. I've been looking for one last day same command in the tutorial

https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/contributing-legacy

"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222 --no-first-run --user-data-dir=C:\Users\%username%\chrome-dev-profile http://localhost:11002#http://localhost:8000/front_end/inspector.html

Then I can use localhost: 9222 on the browser.

Right now I would like to comment on the answer to help someone.
