MASTG-TECH-0139: Attach to WKWebView
After installing GlobalWebInspect on a jailbroken device, it is possible to attach the Safari developer tools to any WKWebView inside of applications installed from the App Store.
To activate the web inspection, follow these steps:
- On the iOS device open the Settings app: Go to Safari -> Advanced and toggle on Web Inspector.
- On the macOS device, open Safari: in the menu bar, go to Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced and enable Show Develop menu in menu bar.
- Connect your iOS device to the macOS device and unlock it: the iOS device name should appear in the Develop menu.
- (If not yet trusted) On macOS's Safari, go to the Develop menu, click on the 'iOS device name' -> Use for Development and enable trust.
To open the web inspector and debug a WebView:

- In macOS Safari, go to Developer -> 'iOS Device Name' and you should see the name of the WebView-based context. Click on it to open the Web Inspector.
Now you're able to debug the WebView as you would with a regular web page on your desktop browser.
If everything is set up correctly, you can attach to any WebView with Safari:
