Why Safari shows “No Inspectable Applications” dur

Question

When I connect my iOS 6 device for remote debugging for testing my mobile web application, The safari develop menu with my device name shows "No Inspectable Applications".

I have enabled web inspector ON in my device safari device settings.

Why this is happening?

Answer 1

I recently had problems debugging a UIWebView in desktop Safari – and it turns out the problem was with my Xcode configuration for the app. The most recent build had been provisioned for production, rather than for Testing. After re-building the app for Testing, it showed up once more in the Safari Debug menu :-)

Answer 2

If you just installed XCode 9, do not forget to install Safari 11, or you will see "no inspecable applications"

Answer 3

I got verything set up and then just restart your machine.

Answer 4

I resolved the issue with rebuilding the app with new key - certificate (p12) and provisioning profile. My developer account and certificates expired, so it just stopped recognizing my PhoneGap app in Developer menu.

Answer 5

An update for iOS 9 (using OSX El Capitan):

On your mobile device under Settings -> Safari -> Fraudulent Website Warning = OFF [default = ON]

I also needed to re-connect the iPhone after changing this setting

This solved it for me.

Answer 6

In my case, I had Safari 10.0.2, running on El Capitan and when trying to run apps on the Simulator (iphone 7), I did not even have the Simulator option in the Safari's Develop menu. Updating to Sierra, solved the problem.
