Changelog

🚀 Experimental Android support

This release adds experimental Android support, which has been a common user ask since we launched. Inspect will now detect and leverage adb on your local machine to connect to physical Android devices and emulators, so you can debug websites and web views on Android with Inspect.

It's still very early for Android support, so expect things to be a bit unstable, but give things a spin and let us know how it works for you!

See our docs https://inspect.dev/docs/guides/android on how to get started.

✨ Fixes broken breakpoints

This release is a minor release fixing broken breakpoints. Thanks to @samholmes and @zxerqw for the report!

🐞 Fixes

• Debugger: Breakpoints broken when debugging WKWebView web views. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/120

✨Better device troubleshooting

This release is a minor release focused on improving device troubleshooting when something goes wrong. Inspect can now understand the connected device better and read out whether the device is paired with the local computer and when the device is locked to the home screen. Inspect now also understands when another tool is debugging a target, and disable that target within Inspect.

Lastly, we are also fixing a blocking issue that broke debugging for Service Workers and JS Contexts.

💎 Improvements

• Core: Show parring status for devices. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/115
• Core: Show when a device is locked in the devices list. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/110

🐞 Fixes

• Core: Target un-selection won't work: https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/116
• Service Worker targets don't show source files. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/111
• Problems with desktop auth in Firefox. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/108
• Inspect shows all targets as debuggable, even when webkit doesn't allow new connections. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/107

✨Teams and UIWebView debugging is here!

This release is a semi-major release landing big improvements to account management, where you now can create your own team to manage multiple accounts under one subscription. Add your team and manage your subscription, all from within settings! Available to everyone using our Pro plan.

Lastly, we are also fixing a blocking issue that broke Inspect when trying to debug UIWebViews on iOS 14 and newer. We have landed several UI improvements within the app, such as a built-in changelog, dropdown menus for the account, and smaller UI tweaks to make it more clear when Inspect can't find any debuggable targets.

💎 Improvements

• Core: Add in-product changelog. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/82
• Core: Add popover menu for user in navigation. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/81
• Elements tool doesn't work with UIWebView. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/85

• Cookies: Unable to clear cookie on Safari iOS 15.1. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/103
• When loading a page, it fails with an exception. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/99
• Device is connected and detected, but nothing happens. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/95

✨ Fixes broken DevTools when changing origins

This release is a minor release fixing a common issue if you were inspecting a target, and clicking on a link that took you to a new origin. This would result in DevTools loosing their connection to the device, but this is all fixed now 🎉

💎 Improvements

• Core: Welcome screen have been tweaked to work on smaller screens.
• Core: Electron upgraded to 15.3.0. for latest security fixes.

🐞 Fixes

• Core: Navigating to a new origin with DevTools open makes the connection reset. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/90
• Debugger: Script debugger doesnt break on debugger statements. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/89

✨ Fixes iOS Simulators detection on macOS

This release is a minor release fixing an issue on macOS, that caused some iOS Simulators not to be detected by Inspect.

💎 Improvements

• Core: Add a link to product survey in navigation.

🐞 Fixes

• Core: iOS Simulator not found.

✨ Fixes broken iOS device detection on macOS

This release is a minor release fixing an issue on macOS, that happened when the xcrun simctl utility wasn't installed which caused iOS device detection to be broken on those machines.

💎 Improvements

• Core: Add support for pacman Linux builds. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/78

🐞 Fixes

• Core: No devices found on macOS when xcrun simctl isn't installed. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/77

✨ Improved iOS Simulator detection

This release is a minor update covering a few bug fixes and improvements. Most notably is the new detection of iOS simulators on macOS, which uses the xcrun simctl utility from XCode to get metadata about booted simulators. This change makes it possible for Inspect to detect the iOS version running in simulators properly. Unfortunately, this means that you will need to have Xcode Commandline Tools installed to use Inspect with iOS simulators, but we expect most of you to have Xcode installed anyways.

💎 Improvements

• Core: Devtools front-end opens links in new Electron window. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/64
• Disable memory tool in devtools front-end. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/60

🐞 Fixes

• Core: Dark mode toolbar pops up, but clicking does nothing. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/12
• iOS: Simulator versions are not properly recognised. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/14
• Network: Preserve log not working. https://github.com/inspectdev/inspect-issues/issues/75
