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

I just stumbled across a way to disable cache in Safari on iOS:

iOS

1. Open Settings
2. Navigate to Safari > Advanced
3. Enable Web Inspector
4. Switch back to Safari and load a web page

Desktop

1. Open Safari
2. Navigate to Safari > Preferences > Advanced tab
3. Enable the Develop menu
4. In the Develop menu, select Your iOS Device Name > The Page You Want to Debug
5. Press Command-Shift-R to reload while disabling cache
6. Bonus: This is a full Web Inspector on your computer inspecting a page on your iOS device

If you want something more permanent, you'll either have to go the proxy route or make a UIWebView/WKWebView wrapper app that disables caching.
