A proxy that enables Chrome DevTools Protocol debugging for Safari and WebViews on iOS devices and simulators.
What is ios-webkit-debug-proxy?
iOS WebKit Debug Proxy is a command-line tool that enables remote debugging of web content on iOS devices. It solves the problem of debugging Safari and WebView-based applications on iOS by acting as a proxy server that translates the Chrome DevTools Protocol into the WebKit Inspector Protocol used by iOS. This allows developers to use desktop browser developer tools to inspect, debug, and profile web pages running on iOS simulators and physical devices.
Web and mobile developers who need to debug Safari browser sessions, hybrid apps using WebViews, or Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS devices and simulators.
Developers choose this tool because it provides a standardized way to use powerful, familiar DevTools (like Chrome's) for iOS web debugging, bypassing the limitations of Safari's built-in remote inspector. It's the de facto open-source solution for cross-platform iOS web debugging workflows.
