Unable to connect to iPhone even when "Web Inspector = ON" in iOS 13 Beta #314

nagpalkaran12111995 · 2019-06-05T12:35:43Z

Was trying to use ios-webkit-debug-proxy to connect to latest iOS 13 Beta on iPhone 8.

After running the command:

ios_webkit_debug_proxy -c 10e43da25a9174d34a07a9287c5d709f8xxxxx:27753

Output:
Unable to connect to iPhone (10e43da25a9174d34a07a9287c5d709f878xxxxx)
Please verify that Settings > Safari > Advanced > Web Inspector = ON

Even though I can confirm that the option is set to ON, still the error persists.

When running an appium session, I get an error because of the same reason

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not start ios_webkit_debug_proxy server: Timed out waiting for ios_webkit_debug_proxy to open (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)

The way how web inspector initiates the service on device and the way how it should mange conversations (WIR messages) is changed on iOS 13 Beta ... (hint: related to the SSL flag on the service connection).
There some job should be made to adopt the current ios-webkit-debug-proxy ...

nghiadhd · 2019-07-01T02:56:24Z

Have any update for this issue? I have got the same issue
The Safari can be launched but cannot load the URL

hiitsdan · 2019-09-26T15:42:05Z

any update on when this will be done?

vasogiamarelou · 2019-09-27T13:18:36Z

hello, do we have any update?

ctjlewis · 2019-09-28T03:18:57Z

Can Apple just go bankrupt so we don't have to deal with this shit anymore?

nhhphuong · 2019-10-06T12:47:18Z

I got the same issue on iOS 13.1.1 with Appium 1.15.0-1. However, it works fine on iOS 11.4.1 and iOS 12.4.1 with this version of Appium.

imurchie · 2019-10-06T16:00:28Z

Appium 1.15 does not use this.

For me, with same iPhone iOS 13.0, it only working with macOS 10.14.6 and not working with macOS 10.15.

you could try brew reinstall --HEAD ios-webkit-debug-proxy

Detrimon · 2019-10-09T12:31:50Z

you could try brew reinstall --HEAD ios-webkit-debug-proxy

But what about Windows 10? As I understand this solution is for OS X?

artygus · 2019-10-09T12:32:36Z

windows binaries will be available later, you could build with mingw

patricktann · 2019-10-10T14:23:52Z

I failed to build with mingw, but I need to debug mobile safari on Windows PC. So could you build it please?

nhhphuong · 2019-10-10T17:10:39Z

Thanks @imurchie, it works fine with Appium 1.15.0-1 and iOS 13.0 simulator (I don't have a real device with iOS 13.0). However, I got a problem with real device run on iOS 13.1.2. It can open safari and open web app, but it cannot execute sendKeys or click on that page.

About a native app run on real device with iOS 13.1.2, it works fine.

acasciani · 2019-10-14T19:15:33Z

windows binaries will be available later, you could build with mingw

Is there an ETA on windows binaries?

wendisong · 2019-10-15T07:48:41Z

Hi, is there any update on this? I also faced this issue.

The software is installed successfully.

WebVooruit · 2019-10-17T08:45:38Z

Hi, is there any update on this? I also faced this issue.

Exact the same issue .

wendisong · 2019-10-23T02:55:53Z

是不是必须使用原装数据线

我觉得不是数据线问题，我用品胜数据线，可以正常连到macmini，然后Chrome或者Safari也可以正常去debug iphone6s。但是同样的数据线，用这个工具在Windows下就不能连。

Xquick · 2019-11-03T09:18:58Z

I am having this issue on iOS 13.2 against macOS 10.14.6

ios_webkit_debug_proxy 1.8.5
Built with libimobiledevice v1.2.0, libplist v2.0.0

We inspector is ON, I tried restarting both devices, pluging and unpluging, reinstalling ios_webkit_debug_proxy --HEAD

Is there any working advice?

artygus · 2019-11-03T11:15:23Z

@Xquick check out readme, you need to have libimobiledevice 1.2.1, which is only available from sources

mkhrystenko · 2019-11-03T12:32:52Z

When ios-webkit-debug-proxy binary for ios 13 will be created for windows?
I can not compile it with gcc (MinGW)...

artygus · 2019-11-03T12:34:55Z

@mkhrystenko there's no ETA, you can easily do it yourself

mkhrystenko · 2019-11-03T12:38:07Z

@artygus where I can find instructions how to compile ios-webkit-debug-proxy with gcc?
(I don't know c or c++, I'm just web developer)

artygus · 2019-11-03T12:40:51Z

unfortunately there're no guides and no plans to do them, it's nothing specific to this project, just general familiriaty win mingw, similar question were raised a couple of times in libimobiledevice issues, you could start from here

stefannesic · 2020-02-26T13:00:40Z

I am trying to use compile the Windows binaries myself and have submitted this issue since I am stuck : #351

danrossi · 2020-02-26T17:01:05Z

I had to resort to using weinre with an ngrok hack for accessing the host on ssl. Its dodgy and slow. It seems IOS 13 has completely uprooted many things. They even changed the device name breaking device detection. This is standard.

I'm still going with work arounds for IOS 13.

You can try this work around for now I gave up trying the direct remote debug.

/usr/local/bin/weinre --boundHost -all-
ngrok http 8080

danrossi · 2020-02-26T20:04:28Z

If you go weinre, be ready for despair. It wont log everything and is slow. I am still trying to get IOS 13 device detection working as its changed and broken everything.

artygus · 2020-03-05T11:03:59Z

new release is out https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy/releases/tag/v1.8.6, with iOS 13 support

artygus · 2020-03-06T13:07:54Z

@danrossi dev tools page is blank or utility doesn't find pages/devices?

danrossi · 2020-03-06T13:11:31Z

the dev tools console. refreshed multiple times and nothing. The device showed up. and it connected to it immediately in powershell

I was about to determine why the console is blank as I mentioned. Viewing this in the browser console shows these errors.

danrossi · 2020-03-14T05:42:08Z

I changed the command to this

 ./ios_webkit_debug_proxy -f chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html

Connected :9222 to ... (.....)
Taking page 9222/1 from local ...

navigate to it. http://localhost:9222/

copy and paste this url and navigate to it

devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/4

It's a different screen, its not a html console its a native chrome console, and blank. Refreshing shows no output.

Pavel-DV · 2020-03-15T02:18:47Z

@Pavel-DV check out readme https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy#using-with-devtools

I checked this readme already, and checked it again and many times.
I tried to connect Chrome Devtools.
I started Command Prompt as Administrator in Windows 10 for installing RemoteDebug/remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter.
Then I run this:

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install ios-webkit-debug-proxy
npm install -g vs-libimobile

installed this version: ios-webkit-debug-proxy: 1.8.6
[email protected]

Next this:
npm install remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter -g

installed: [email protected]

Then I run this:
remotedebug_ios_webkit_adapter --port=9000

Result:
remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter is listening on port 9000

Then I connected the phone, and I see this error in console multiple times:

iosAdapter.getTargets
error.iosAdapter.getTargets.getDeviceVersion.failed.fallback, device=[object Object]

I go to URL in google chrome: chrome://inspect/#devices
And configure port forwarding: localhost:9000

I see titles of web sites, opened in Safari, And click inspect on one of them.

Opened new blank window of devtools, and i see in console this:

New websocket connection to /ios_80ca243dff81665cd669f824dc88e5fd7838a4d4/ws://127.0.0.1:9101/devtools/page/1
Existing target found for id ws://127.0.0.1:9101/devtools/page/1
Socket is closed
Connection established to ws://127.0.0.1:9101/devtools/page/1

What I am doing wrong?

artygus · 2020-03-15T07:21:08Z

@Pavel-DV I think you should post your issue at the relevant repo

UPD: blank dev tools might be fixed in RemoteDebug/remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter#186
UPD2: error error.iosAdapter.getTargets.getDeviceVersion.failed.fallback suggests device version doesn't get detected properly which might lead to incorrect adapter applied and blank dev tools, make sure you have ideviceinfo where remote debug adapter expects it https://github.com/RemoteDebug/remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter/blob/6c65cda49a8343bb7e8c541d804e00b19da9e50e/src/adapters/iosAdapter.ts#L168-L180

If all this bugs are inside remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter, I tried to use ios-webkit-debug-proxy without it.
I used the readme, and did this:

>ios_webkit_debug_proxy
Listing devices on :9221
Connected :9222 to iPhone (80ca243dff81665cd669f824dc88e5fd7838a4d4)

I navigated to http://localhost:9222/
I clicked on the link, and redirected to http://localhost:9222/devtools/devtools.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/1

It is opened DevTools-like interface, but without html elements of web page in the iPhone.
In browser console for this interface I see error messages. Check the screenshot, please:

artygus · 2020-03-15T16:05:42Z

@Pavel-DV iwdp is a tool that allows you to send commands to webinspectord via websocket interface, it won't work with chrome devtools frontend without compatibility adapter since chrome and safari devtools protocols diverted long ago

quote from readme

The reason is that recent versions of Chrome and Safari there're major discrepancies between Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol and Apple's Remote Web Inspector service, which means that newer versions of Chrome DevTools aren't compatible with Safari.

Pavel-DV · 2020-03-15T16:15:53Z

@Pavel-DV iwdp is a tool that allows you to send commands to webinspectord via websocket interface, it won't work with chrome devtools frontend without compatibility adapter since chrome and safari devtools protocols diverted long ago

I thought that since it’s written in readme, this way should work. I thought that the interface that opens through that link is another devtool, specially converted for this protocol. I think the readme is confusing for many people who have done the same thing as me.

make sure you have ideviceinfo where remote debug adapter expects it

I tried this:

>%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-libimobile\lib\ideviceinfo.exe
socket_receive_timeout: fd=720 recv returned 0
ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -3

So, ideviceinfo exists. I don't know if it is works correctly.

artygus · 2020-03-15T16:23:46Z

@Pavel-DV obviously it doesn't work, there's clearly an error output. it seems https://www.npmjs.com/package/vs-libimobile is an ancient package, remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter needs another way to read device version

I thought that since it’s written in readme, this way should work. I thought that the interface that opens through that link is another devtool, specially converted for this protocol. I think the readme is confusing for many people who have done the same thing as me.

you're more than welcome to contribute a proper wording

artygus · 2020-03-15T19:27:19Z

@Pavel-DV new version of remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter is out with RemoteDebug/remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter#188 and RemoteDebug/remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter#186 merged your issues should've been solved

Pavel-DV · 2020-03-16T19:19:01Z

@artygus Thanks! Now all works for me.

danrossi · 2020-03-17T17:33:40Z

there is no release file for this. has it been updated yet ? I got 1.8.6 by mistake again

geresy · 2020-04-13T06:44:02Z

Windows 10 - command prompt says i'm connected to the iPhone
chrome://inspect - I can see the target
The debug page is empty however.
Version 1.8.6

danrossi · 2020-04-13T11:28:55Z

You have to wait for a new binary release. 1.8.6 has the bug. I gave up , and had to suffer with weinre SSL hacks through ngrok. Slow but coped.

danrossi · 2020-05-03T14:45:31Z

latest fix is not released. any ideas ? cant even test it works. blank console 100%

danrossi · 2020-05-04T14:48:43Z

This is silly. How can we build a 1.8.7 binary for Windows ? Still no chance to get a fix.

Vinocm · 2020-06-03T02:50:30Z

I am having this issue on iOS 13.3 against macOS 10.15.4

ios_webkit_debug_proxy 1.8.6
Built with libimobiledevice v1.2.0, libplist v2.1.0

Web inspector is ON, I tried restarting both devices, pluging and unpluging, reinstalling
Tried below as well
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies libimobiledevice
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies ideviceinstaller
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies usbmuxd
brew install --HEAD usbmuxd
brew unlink usbmuxd
brew link usbmuxd
brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice
brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller

Any work around for the same?
