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

I can't say I have a solution, but a step in the right direction.

I tried using ios-webkit-debug-proxy so I can use the Chrome Dev Tools instead of Safari Dev Tools.

Note, in order to get it to work, I can to upgrade my iOS to the latest 11.4.1 and MacOS 10.13.65, then reinstall the latest versions:

brew update
brew install ios-webkit-debug-proxy
brew reinstall --HEAD libimobiledevice
brew reinstall -s ios-webkit-debug-proxy

ios_webkit_debug_proxy

After running ios_webkit_debug_proxy, I was able to try to connect through chrome://inspect and it disconnected immediately again:

Listing devices on :9221
Connected :9222 to Chet's Phone (6a028994cf281be807bf80c5557c3f2eb3fbb8b0)
Invalid packet header 0x1ffffff91ffffffa0ffffff9d == .... == 26321053
Disconnected :9222 from Chet's Phone (6a028994cf281be807bf80c5557c3f2eb3fbb8b0)

However, we have a clue! Invalid packet header. Sounds like a lower level bug somewhere. Not sure where to submit this but to though...
