How to Activate the iPhone Debug Console or Web Inspector

Use Safari's web developer tools to study problematic websites

• Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
• Switching from Android

What to Know

• Activate Web Inspector on iOS: Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and move the Web Inspector toggle switch to the On position.
• Use Web Inspector on macOS: Connect your iOS device to a Mac and choose the URL to inspect from the Develop menu.

If you run into a bug or another issue with a website on Safari mobile, use the Web Inspector tool to investigate. This article explains how to use the Safari console for iPhone to debug errors with the help of your Mac computer. Instructions apply to iPhones with iOS 14, iOS 12, or iOS 11, and well as Macs with macOS Big Sur (11.0), macOS Catalina (10.15), or macOS Mojave (10.14).

Activate Web Inspector on Your iPhone or Other iOS Device

The Web Inspector is disabled by default since most iPhone users have no use for it. However, if you're a developer or you're curious, you can activate it in a few short steps. Here's how:

Open the iPhone  Settings  menu.

On an iPhone with an early version of iOS, access the Debug Console through Settings > Safari > Developer > Debug Console . When Safari on the iPhone detects CSS, HTML, and JavaScript errors, details of each display in the debugger.

Scroll down and tap  Safari  to open the screen that contains everything related to the Safari web browser on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Advanced .

Move the Web Inspector toggle switch to the On position.

Connect Your iOS Device to Safari on a Mac

To use the Web Inspector, connect your iPhone or another iOS device to a Mac that has the Safari web browser and enable the Develop menu .

With Safari open, select Safari from the menu bar and choose  Preferences .

Select the  Advanced  tab.

Select the Show Develop menu in menu bar check box and close the settings window.

From the Safari menu bar, select Develop and choose the name of your attached iOS device, then select the URL that appears under Safari to open the debug console for that site.

After you connect your device, use your Mac to inspect the website you want to debug and have it open in the Safari mobile browser.

What Is Web Inspector?

Web developers use Web Inspector to modify, debug, and optimize websites on Macs and iOS devices. With Web Inspector open, developers can inspect the resources on a web page. The Web Inspector window contains editable HTML and notes regarding the styles and layers of the web page in a separate panel.

Before iOS 6, the iPhone Safari web browser had a built-in Debug Console that developers used to find web page defects. Recent versions of iOS use Web Inspector instead.

With Safari 9 and OS X Mavericks (10.9), Apple introduced Responsive Design Mode in Web Inspector. Developers use this built-in simulator to preview how web pages scale to different screen sizes, resolutions, and orientations.

To set up Web Inspector on your iPad, open your iPad's Settings and select Safari > Advanced , then turn Web Inspector On . Connect the iPad to a Mac computer, then open Safari on the Mac and select Safari > Preferences > Advanced , then turn on Show Develop menu in menu bar .

You cannot just connect your iPhone to a Windows PC and start using Web Inspector through Chrome like you can with a Mac. Installing package manager software can provide you a sort of workaround, but it's not recommended unless you're familiar with the package management app you intend to use.

iOS 16’s handy Developer Mode lets you run your own code

By D. Griffin Jones • 6:00 am, August 24, 2022

• Top stories

Developer Mode is a security feature new to iOS 16. It will prevent unsigned code from running on your device — apps that are not on the App Store nor TestFlight . Most people can enjoy the added layer of security for free. But, this also means that if you’re writing your own apps in Xcode, you will need to enable Developer Mode before running your app on your iPhone or iPad.

Another reason you might turn on Developer Mode is to install AltStore , a popular open-source App Store alternative. With AltStore, you can easily run emulators for Nintendo games, a clipboard manager, Windows virtual machines and more.

Read on to see how to turn it on.

How to turn on Developer Mode in iOS 16

If you are still running iOS 15, you don’t need to enable Developer Mode. This is a feature of iOS 16,  which is available now . iOS 16 is compatible with every iPhone released in 2017 and later: the iPhone 8, X, XS, 11, 12, 13, 14 models and iPhone SE (both second and third generation).  iPadOS 16 and  macOS Ventura  will be released sometime later in October .

Enabling Developer Mode is a simple switch you can turn on, but you have to find it buried in Settings.

Go to  Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode (at the very bottom).

Enable  Developer Mode . You will get a warning:

When Developer Mode is turned on, your device security will be reduced. Restart your device to turn on Developer Mode.

Your device security is only compromised insofar as the app you’re installing to your device will run unchecked. If you’re just learning Swift or testing an app you wrote, this doesn’t weaken your device to malware, unless you have bizarrely decided to write malware for yourself in Xcode.

Note: Some malicious Xcode projects copy or mimic legitimate open-source projects , only to add in spyware. If you are following along with directions to install an app and you are here because you have to enable Developer Mode to finish installing it, you should probably stop. It could be using private APIs or break App Store rules. It’s likely you’re being pushed to install something you shouldn’t.

Tap  Restart and your phone will instantly restart with Developer Mode enabled; tap  Cancel and nothing will happen. After restarting, you will be asked again whether you  really want to enable Developer Mode.

Tapping  Turn On one last time and entering your passcode will enable it.

To turn Developer Mode off, just go back to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode and uncheck Developer Mode .

How to Enable Developer on the iPad: A Step-by-Step Guide

Enabling Developer Mode on your iPad is a relatively straightforward process. It’s an essential step for anyone looking to develop apps, test out beta versions of iOS, or simply explore the more technical aspects of their device. After completing the action, a new world of possibilities opens up, including access to additional settings and features not available to the average user.

Introduction

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge into the world of iPad development. Whether you’re an aspiring app developer, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about what’s under the hood of your device, enabling Developer Mode on your iPad is your gateway to a whole new set of functionalities.

Developer Mode is essential for running and testing apps that you’re developing. It allows you to debug apps directly on your iPad, making the development process significantly easier and more efficient. It’s also a prerequisite for using Apple’s beta software, which lets you try out new features before they’re released to the public. This feature isn’t just for developers, though. If you’re the kind of person who likes to tweak settings and optimize your device’s performance, Developer Mode gives you access to tools that can help you do just that.

Step by Step Tutorial

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to know what these steps will accomplish. By following these instructions, you’ll unlock the Developer options on your iPad, which grants you access to features and settings that can help in the development of apps or for personal use to enhance your iPad experience.

Step 1: Update to the latest version of iOS

Ensure your iPad is updated to the latest version of iOS.

Updating your iPad to the latest version of iOS ensures that you have all the most recent features and security updates. This is crucial because Developer Mode can sometimes have features that are only supported on the newest versions of iOS.

Step 2: Install Xcode on your Mac

Download and install Xcode from the Mac App Store.

Xcode is Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) that you’ll need to develop apps for iOS. It’s only available on Mac, and it’s necessary for your iPad to be recognized for development purposes.

Step 3: Connect your iPad to your Mac

Use a USB cable to connect your iPad to your Mac.

This physical connection allows your Mac and iPad to communicate with each other, which is necessary for the next steps in enabling Developer Mode.

Step 4: Open Xcode

Launch Xcode on your Mac.

Opening Xcode initializes the environment you need to enable Developer Mode on your iPad. This step also helps Xcode to recognize your device.

Step 5: Open Developer options

Go to the ‘Window’ menu in Xcode, then select ‘Devices and Simulators’.

This will open a new window where you’ll be able to manage your connected devices, including your iPad.

Step 6: Enable Developer Mode

Select your iPad in the ‘Devices and Simulators’ window and enable Developer Mode.

You’ll need to trust your computer on your iPad, and you might need to enter your device passcode. After doing so, your iPad will be in Developer Mode, and you’ll have access to the additional settings and features that come with it.

Additional Information

While Developer Mode opens up a multitude of options, it’s important to proceed with caution. Make sure you understand the settings you’re changing, as some can significantly affect your iPad’s functionality. It’s also worth mentioning that enabling Developer Mode is different from jailbreaking your iPad, which is unsupported by Apple and can void your warranty.

Keep in mind that to maintain Developer Mode, you’ll need to keep Xcode installed on your Mac and occasionally connect your iPad to your Mac. If you’re serious about app development, consider joining the Apple Developer Program, which gives you additional resources like technical support and the ability to publish apps on the App Store.

• Update your iPad to the latest iOS version.
• Install Xcode on your Mac.
• Connect your iPad to your Mac using a USB cable.
• Open Xcode on your Mac.
• Access ‘Devices and Simulators’ from the ‘Window’ menu in Xcode.
• Enable Developer Mode for your iPad within Xcode.

No, it’s a supported feature by Apple. However, jailbreaking will void your warranty.

Enabling Developer Mode on your iPad is a crucial step for any budding developer or tech enthusiast. It gives you the ability to test apps, access beta software, and explore advanced settings.

However, it’s important to approach Developer Mode with caution, as the added features and settings can lead to instability or security risks if misused. Always keep your device updated and maintain regular backups to safeguard against potential issues. Happy developing!

How to turn on the develop menu in safari on mac.

The Develop menu lets you view page source in Safari on Mac.

Quick Links

How to enable the develop menu in safari on mac, how to view page source in safari on mac.

When you right-click on any web page in Safari on Mac, it doesn't reveal the Show Page Source and Inspect Element buttons. To see these, you need to enable the Develop menu---we'll show you how to do that.

Once you've enabled the Develop menu, right-clicking a blank space on any website will reveal the Inspect Element and Show Page Source buttons. These allow you to take a look at the source code of any website, which is useful for things like downloading images from websites and debugging code or finding out what it looks like behind any site (for website designers).

You can easily turn on the Develop menu in Safari by following a couple of steps. Open Safari on your Mac and click the "Safari" button in the menu bar.

Next, select "Preferences." Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command+, (comma). This will also open up Safari preferences.

Go to the "Advanced" tab.

Check the box for "Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar."

Now the Develop menu will appear between Bookmarks and Window at the top.

Apart from being able to view the page source, this will allow you to access developer-focused features, such as disabling JavaScript on any website.

Once you've enabled the Develop menu, there are a couple of ways to view the page source in Safari.

Open any website in Safari and right-click the blank space on the page. Now, select "Show Page Source." You can also get to this menu by using the keyboard shortcut Option+Command+u.

If you're looking for images or other media elements from any web page, Safari makes it easy to find these. In the left-hand pane, you will see various folders such as Images, Fonts, etc. Click the "Images" folder to quickly find the photos that you need.

After selecting an image, you can view its details easily by opening up the details sidebar. The button to open this is located at the top-right of the console, just below the gear icon. You can also open this with the shortcut Option+Command+0.

Click "Resource" at the top of the details sidebar to view details, such as the size of the image and its full URL.

You can change the position of the page source console easily, too. There are two buttons at the top-left of this console, right next to the X button. Click the rectangle icon to move the console to a different side within the browser window.

If you'd like to open the page source console in a separate window, you can click the two-rectangles icon. This will detach the console and open it in a separate window.

To check out the code for any specific element on the page, you can right-click that element and select "Inspect Element." This will take you directly to the code for the element that you selected.

Whenever you're done looking at the code, click the X button to close the page source console and return to browsing on Safari. You can also check out how to view a website's page source in Google Chrome  here.

How to Enable Developer Mode on iPhone with iOS 17

iOS 17 brings exciting new features and updates to the iPhone. One of those features is an improved Developer Mode that provides developers with more tools and options for building and testing apps. Enabling Developer Mode on your iPhone running iOS 17 is easy and straightforward. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, step-by-step.

Recent Released: Ams1gn Download For iOS 16 & Installation Guide

Introduction

Developer Mode unlocks additional tools, settings, and capabilities that developers need when building, testing, and debugging apps on an iPhone. When enabled, you get access to features like app debugging, log collection, simulated device testing, and more. It’s important for anyone interested in iOS development and app creation.

Here are some of the key things you can do with Developer Mode enabled on your iPhone running iOS 17:

• Debug apps directly on your device using Xcode
• Access device logs for troubleshooting app issues
• Use simulated device testing to check app behavior across multiple device types
• Install unsigned/unreleased apps for testing purposes
• Enable deeper analytical app diagnostics and performance profiling

The process to turn on Developer Mode is straightforward, but there are a few prerequisites you need:

• An iPhone running iOS 17
• An Apple developer account
• Xcode developer tools installed on your Mac

We’ll cover all the steps involved in getting Developer Mode up and running on your iPhone using iOS 17.

Prerequisites

Before you can enable Developer Mode, you need to ensure you have the following:

Apple Developer Account

You need to have a paid Apple Developer account in order to access Developer Mode as well as download and install beta releases of iOS. This gives you a Developer license that allows you to test pre-release software, install unsigned apps, and submit apps to the App Store.

You can enroll in the Apple Developer Program directly on Apple’s website. The cost is $99 per year.

Updated to iOS 17

Obviously, you’ll need to have your iPhone updated to the latest iOS 17 release. As long as your iPhone model supports iOS 17, you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update and downloading the latest update.

Make sure your iPhone is charged and connected to Wi-Fi, as the iOS 17 update file size is large.

The Xcode developer tools for macOS allow you to build, test, and publish apps for Apple platforms like iOS. You’ll need to have the latest version of Xcode installed on your Mac in order to enable Developer Mode on your iPhone.

You can get Xcode for free from the Mac App Store . The latest version fully supports iOS 17 and has the tools you need for development and testing.

With those prerequisites in place, you’re ready to turn on Developer Mode on your iPhone.

Enabling Developer Mode

Here are the steps to get Developer Mode up and running on your iPhone with iOS 17:

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Scroll down and tap on  Privacy & Security .
• Under the Developer section, tap on  Developer Mode .
• Toggle the switch for Developer Mode to the ON position.

<img src=”images/developer-mode.png” width=”300″ alt=”Enabling Developer Mode in Settings”>

That’s it! Developer Mode is now activated on your iPhone.

Some additional settings and options will appear across iOS related to development, debugging, and device management that weren’t previously available.

Using Developer Mode

With Developer Mode enabled on your iPhone, you unlock a whole suite of new tools and capabilities. Here are some of the things you can now do:

Install Unsigned Apps

The main benefit of Developer Mode is the ability to install unsigned (unreleased) apps on your device for testing purposes. These are apps that haven’t been submitted to the App Store and signed by Apple.

You can install unsigned apps by connecting your iPhone to Xcode and running them directly on your device. This is great for testing apps still in development.

Device Logging

Extensive logs are now available on your device related to system events, app performance, crashes, and other analytics.

You can view logs directly on your device or use Xcode to access them on your Mac. Logs are invaluable for troubleshooting app issues.

Simulated Device Testing

The Xcode simulator allows you to test how your app performs across various Apple devices like iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches.

With Developer Mode, you get access to advanced simulated device testing configurations from within Xcode to fine tune testing.

App Diagnostics

Additional app diagnostic tools are unlocked with Developer Mode, like tracking detailed system utilization metrics for CPU, memory, network usage, and more.

This helps you profile app performance, optimize operations, and pinpoint areas for improvement.

Advanced Debugging

When running an app from Xcode, Developer Mode enables more advanced debugging with additional data metrics and crash insights that aren’t available normally through iOS.

Beta Software Testing

Apple’s beta software testing programs like TestFlight require Developer Mode. So turning it on allows you to install and test out iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS betas as they are released.

Developer Mode Considerations

While enabling Developer Mode unlocks many useful development features, there are some important things to keep in mind:

• Battery life may take a hit since device logging and diagnostics are running.
• Apps and system stability may be reduced since you’ll be running beta iOS versions and unsigned code.
• Advanced app analytics utilize more device resources which can impact performance.
• Apple recommends keeping Developer Mode disabled when not actively developing/testing.
• Unauthorized modifications to system files and settings may void your device’s warranty.

So only keep Developer Mode enabled when you need it to build, test, and debug apps or utilize development tools. Make sure to disable it when not needed.

Useful Developer Resources

Here are some additional Apple Developer resources useful for app creation now that you have Developer Mode set up:

• Apple Developer Forums  – Discuss development issues with other devs.
• Developer Documentation  – Tons of technical articles, guides, and reference material.
• Apple Developer App  – Stay on top of news and updates from Apple.
• WWDC Videos  – Watch sessions and workshops from Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference.

Disabling Developer Mode

When you no longer need access to the development features enabled by Developer Mode, you can simply turn it off:

• Go back to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode.
• Toggle the switch to the OFF position to disable Developer Mode.

Any unsigned apps or unreleased software installed via Developer Mode will no longer open. And your device will revert back to its normal non-development state.

It’s recommended to keep Developer Mode disabled when you aren’t actively building, testing or debugging apps. This improves stability, security, and battery life on your iPhone.

With iOS 17, enabling Developer Mode on your iPhone is easier than ever. Just a quick toggle of a switch gives you access to invaluable tools for app creation. You can install unsigned code, view diagnostic system logs, utilize advanced debugging features with Xcode, and much more.

But remember to disable Developer Mode when you aren’t actively developing. And make sure to take advantage of all the great Apple developer resources available to help you build the next great iOS app!

iOS 17.5: New features, release date, and more details

Apple has officially started beta testing iOS 17.5 with developers and public beta users. The update brings a handful of new features and changes, and is expected to be released sometime next month. Head below for everything we know right now.

Table of contents

When will ios 17.5 be released, web distribution in the eu, new quartiles game for apple news+, design changes, find my network updates, other ios 17.5 changes.

Based on previous years of iOS updates, I’d expect that iOS 17.5 will be released to everyone sometime in mid-May. Here’s a rundown of previous iOS x.5 update release dates:

• iOS 16.5 : May 18
• iOS 15.5 : May 16
• iOS 14.5 : April 26
• iOS 13.5 : May 20

So far, two iOS 17.5 betas have been released as of April 17.

• April 2 : iOS 17.5 beta 1, build number: 21F5048f
• April 16 : iOS 17.5 beta 2, build number: 21F5058e

What’s new in iOS 17.5?

While iOS 17.5 isn’t quite as big of an update as other iOS 17 updates, it still includes its fair share of new features and updates.

Within the European Union, the latest iOS 17.5 update introduces the capability to install applications directly from a developer’s website. Apple unveiled this new “Web Distribution” feature last month, explaining that it allows developers to distribute their iOS apps straight from their own websites.

To utilize this functionality, developers must opt into the updated App Store business terms, which requires paying a Core Technology Fee of €0.50 for every first annual installation exceeding one million in the preceding 12 months.

Any application disseminated through the web will still need to adhere to Apple’s notarization guidelines. Apps can only be installed from a website domain that the developer has registered in App Store Connect. Apple will also provide a range of APIs for developers to integrate with system functionality.

Apple has confirmed that iOS 17.5 beta includes support for Web Distribution. However, there are currently no developers offering their apps via this new Web Distribution feature. We don’t anticipate this changing until the public release of iOS 17.5 in May.

In the Apple News app, Apple News+ subscribers in the United States and Canada will find a new “Quartiles” word game after updating to iOS 17.5. The game prompts players to select from a grid of tiles to form words.

Quartiles is the third game to come to Apple News+, following the addition of daily crossword and crossword mini games that were added last year.

iOS 17.5 also adds Game Center integration to all three of the Apple News+ games. With this feature, you can now see leaderboards for each of the three games for Daily Solve Time and Daily Score stats.

iOS 17.5 beta 1 also includes a few small design changes that are worth pointing out:

• The Podcasts widget has been updated to have a new dynamic color that changes based on the artwork of the podcast you’re currently playing.

• In the Apple Books app, Apple has redesigned the “Reading Goal” icon in top navigation bar.

• In the Settings app, there is a new glyph for the “Passkeys Access for Web Browsers” menu under “Privacy & Security.”

Based on code discovered by 9to5Mac , iOS 17.5 seems to incorporate a new system centered around anti-stalking capabilities for accessories like AirTags. This development follows Apple’s announcement last year of a partnership with Google to collaborate on a new “industry specification to combat unwanted tracking.”

Strings added to the Find My app reveal that iOS will be able to identify tracking accessories, even those that are not Apple or Find My certified, and assist users in disabling them.

One of the new strings states, “This item lacks certification on the Apple Find My network. You have the option to disable this item and prevent it from sharing its location with the owner. To proceed, follow the instructions provided on a website by the manufacturer of this item.”

These changes come as Google started rolling out its new Find My Device network for Android on April 8.

• iOS 17.5 also includes an update for MDM users: “MDM solutions can now enforce a beta version during automated device enrollment.”
• iOS 17.5 beta 1 changes and features + new iPad Pro details
• iPadOS 17.5 hints at new ‘squeeze’ gesture for Apple Pencil 3
• Apple to let users watch their own videos during Vision Pro demo

Whether Apple has more changes planned for iOS 17.5 beyond what was launched today remains to be seen. The focus is clearly on the European Union, where Apple continues to adapt to the Digital Markets Act being enforced by the European Commission.

More on iOS 17.5:  

• Apple will allow users to download apps directly from a developer’s website, in latest EU App Store rule change
• iOS 17.5 to introduce new system to disable unwanted tracking accessories
• iPadOS 17.5 hints at new ‘squeeze’ gesture for Apple Pencil 3
• Apple releases first betas for iOS 17.5, macOS 14.5, visionOS 1.2, and more

iOS 18 Rumored to Add These 10 New Features to Your iPhone

Apple is set to unveil iOS 18 during its WWDC keynote on June 10 , so the software update is a little over six weeks away from being announced. Below, we recap rumored features and changes planned for the iPhone with iOS 18.

• Smarter Siri: iOS 18 is rumored to include new generative AI features for Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, Apple Music, Messages, Health, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and more. These features are expected to be powered by Apple's on-device large language model (LLM) , but Apple has reportedly also discussed partnerships with companies like Google, OpenAI, and Baidu .
• More Customizable Home Screen: One of the design changes rumored for iOS 18 is a more customizable Home Screen , including the ability to place app icons anywhere on the Home Screen grid . This change will allow for blank spaces, rows, and columns between app icons.
• Improved Texting With Android Users: Apple announced that it will support the cross-platform messaging standard RCS in the Messages app on the iPhone starting "later" in 2024, so it will likely be an iOS 18 feature. Compared to SMS, RCS support will improve the texting experience between iOS and Android devices by allowing for higher-resolution photos and videos, audio messages, typing indicators, read receipts, Wi-Fi messaging, and more.
• Calculator Revamp: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 are expected to feature a revamped Calculator app with several new features , including a sidebar that lists recent calculations, an improved interface for converting units, integration with the Notes app, and more. Yes, this means that Apple will finally be making its Calculator app available on the iPad .
• Math in Notes App: With iOS 18, the Notes app is expected to gain support for displaying mathematical notation , allowing users to include more types of algebraic equations and formulas in notes.
• Custom Routes in Apple Maps: At least two new Apple Maps features are expected on iOS 18, including custom routes and topographic maps . Custom routes would allow users to choose specific roads to travel on while navigating, while topographic maps include details such as trails, contour lines, elevation, and points of interest for hiking and other outdoor uses. Apple already introduced topographic maps on the Apple Watch with watchOS 10.
• Safari Browsing Assistant: Another new generative AI feature potentially coming with iOS 18 is a browsing assistant in Safari , but no specific details are known yet. There are already multiple iPhone web browsers with AI tools, such as Microsoft Edge and its GPT-4-powered Copilot, and Arc Search , which can summarize web pages to provide concise information.
• AirPods Pro as Hearing Aid: iOS 18 will reportedly include a so-called "hearing aid mode" for AirPods Pro , but it is unclear how it would differ from Apple's existing Conversation Boost feature that launched in 2021.
• Next-Generation CarPlay: Apple's website says the first vehicles with next-generation CarPlay will arrive in 2024 , so the platform might debut alongside iOS 18 later this year. However, it is possible that next-generation CarPlay will also be compatible with some iOS 17 versions.
• Freeform Scenes: iOS 18 is rumored to add a new "Scenes" option to Apple's drawing app Freeform . This feature would allow users to select specific sections or "scenes" on the canvas for easier navigation.

For additional rumors and expectations, read our comprehensive iOS 18 roundup , which we routinely update with the latest information.
