🚀 Introducing Inspect CLI

We're excited to announce the launch of Inspect CLI, the command-line version of Inspect, that provides a powerful Chrome DevTools Protocol adapter for WebKit on iOS. Inspect CLI enables debugging websites and web views with Chrome DevTools and other CDP-compatible tools.

What is Inspect CLI?

Inspect CLI is the spiritual successor to ios-webkit-debug-proxy, designed to bridge the gap between iOS Safari/WebKit debugging and modern development tools. It translates WebKit's Remote Inspector Protocol into the Chrome DevTools Protocol, allowing you to use your favorite debugging tools with iOS devices and iOS simulators.

Key Features

  • Pure CDP: Works with Chrome DevTools, VS Code, and any CDP-compatible debugging tool
  • iOS Device & Simulator Support: Debug on both physical iOS devices and iOS simulators
  • WebView Debugging: Debug websites and web applications running on iOS.
  • Easy Installation: Simple npm install: npm install -g @inspectdotdev/cli
  • Modern Protocol: Uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol for seamless integration

We're thrilled to provide this tool to the development community and look forward to seeing how you use it to debug and improve your iOS web applications!

Happy Inspecting!
