Debug Iphone App In Mac In Safari

Mar 27, 2020 Close Safari. Open the Terminal app (Applications Utilities Terminal). Enter the following command: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1; Then hit return (see below how you can disable the debug menu). Now relaunch Safari. You will see the Debug menu in Safari’s menubar. Select Drawing/Compositing Flags. This article will highlight two methods by which developers can debug issues for their mobile web app on the Safari browser running on an iPhone. Note: For developers or QA engineers willing to debug errors on specific iOS devices (For example iPhone X, iPhone 11Pro ) the second method will be more effective. Nov 07, 2011 defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0. Again you will need to relaunch Safari for changes to take effect. We’ve poked around in the Debug menu before to stop auto-refreshing in Safari by disabling multi-process windows, that is no longer necessary with the latest version of Safari, however.

Didn't see a debug menu when I typed in the line (closed Safari first).
Hmmm...

Nevermind. I typed it in as superuser and it didn't work. After I exited SuperUser, and restarted Safari, it appeared.

just download Safari Enhancer
http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=17776&kind=1&db=vt3
and you will enable this w/o any command line tinkering needed. It also gives you some other nice options for bookmark importing and font line manipulation.

If you don't want to download and install the app, you can issue the following commands to set the minimum font sizes:
To Add:
% defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitMinimumFontSize 12
% defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitMinimumFixedFontSize 12
To Delete:
% defaults delete com.apple.Safari WebKitMinimumFontSize
% defaults delete com.apple.Safari WebKitMinimumFixedFontSize

downloaded and tried 'safari enhancer'. throughly trashed my installed version of Safari under 10.2.8. won't launch. will have to reinstall

FYI, that link is no longer any good.

If you open the terminal and run the command, the debugging menu shows up in the menu bar. It lists many options, this is very cool. Thanx

/usr/bin/strings (might be installed with developer tools) can quickly extract bits of text from binary files. You'll need to link, found within the Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts option, in the Debug menu. It sounds like it's some kind of internal Apple thing.

It's probably a ticket number for whatever bug tracking software the Safari team is using.
(There is bug tracking software called RADAR but it's very Windows-centric, so I doubt they're using that.)

Radar is Apple's internally developed bug tracking system. They've been using this system for about 10 years.

I can get the debug menu just fine, but I can't seem to get the tabs working as described in the ThinkSecret article. Do I have to enable something other than the debug menu? I tried apple-t (like in Chimera) but nothing happens.

after you turn on the debug menu, you must select the 'tabbed browsing' entry in the debug menu. it is the last entry.
if you do not see it there, then you do not have build 62 or later. do an 'about safari' and make sure it ends in (v62)
remember, 62 is not officially released yet...people are talking about developer seeds or rogue copies floating around various p2p networks.

if it aint broke, break it!

I just read the same article in 'think Secret' and cant figure out where the tap browsing is either.They have the 'Back/Forward cache' shown with a check mark on,but so does mine and still no tap browsing...

This great tip might work better if there wasn't a case error in it.
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludedebugMenu 1
should be:
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

You're right. I could enable the debug menu using the hint, but could not turn it off by changing the 1 to a 0, until the command was entered without the case error.

thanks

Yup this hint works in Panther! :o)

No, it doesn't. This hint is not compatible with v1.1.1 of Safari, the version delivered with Panther.
-Kurt

Yes, it is working in Panther. Worked fine on this 1.1.1 (v100.1) Safari build, Panther 10.3.2 (Xcode and Dev tools installed - you may need these?).

Debug Menu is there, but there is no Export Safari bookmarks.
Activated menu thru Safari Enhancer and Terminal but in either cases there was no option to 'Export Safari bookmarks'

To enable the debug menu in Safari 3 for Windows:
In the file:
C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataApple ComputerSafariPreferences
Add the following:
<key>IncludeDebugMenu</key>
<true/>

Now that the menu has been relabeled 'Develop', is this hint even necessary any more? I still see the 'Develop' menu even though this setting is set to 0:

Deleting the key doesn't make any difference either. The 'Develop' menu is still there. I think this is shown by default now.

The key for the Develop menu is IncludeDevelopMenu. That's why IncludeDebugMenu has no effect on the Develop menu.

For future reference, as mentioned earlier, in the version 3 of Safari (3.1.1), the Menu is now called 'Develop' instead of 'Debug'. So the command would be:
% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDevelopMenu 1
% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDevelopMenu 0

Since the release of Safari 3.1, there now have an option in Safari's Preferences > Advanced to show/hide the Develop menu (the local help give more details if needed).

On Safari 3.2.1, the 'Develop' menu doesn't have any sub choices that obviously relate to RSS. Can anybody confirm whether control of RSS has been moved elsewhere/removed/renamed?
If so, can we figure out a terminal command to directly access the RSS bit?
Note: on my machine, i turned off RSS long ago, and 3.2.1 seems to respect that. However, on my wife's machine i never got around to turning it off, and now can't find the switch...

On one hand the Develop menu, on the other hand the Debug menu: WebDevelopers - WebKit

Hi. This was the most helpful comment to me. I now have a Develop and a Debug menu. I use the Open Page With and the User Agent items a lot. I find them very helpful especially on unfriendly to Mac sites. However, I can't find the old sort bookmarks option. What should I do to fix this? Thanks.

Above, chleuasme mentioned IncludeInternalDebugMenu rather than IncludeDebugMenu. The name has indeed changed in Safari 4, and has its own hint now: Enable the Debug menu in Safari 4.

I've attempted to disable the Debug menu by replacing the terminal command '1' to a '0' but the Debug menu remains.
What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks.

I also found IncludeDebugMenu doesn't work. But this did
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0
I quit Safari, ran the above in Terminal and started Safari.

After I typed the command in the terminal, 'no such job' appears. What am I missing?
