Routing/Debugging WLN iPad or iPad emulator to local Static Content

Chris Nelson

Has anyone had any luck routing either the WLN iPad or iPad emulator (ipad rendering mode) to their local Static Content? Ideally I'd like to have success with the emulator, as I'm trying to debug some problematic javascript and am not aware of any way to do so on an actual iPad. This is the only wiki that I have found thus far.

I have not tried routing Static Content through the iPad Rendering Mode, but these are the instructions I used for routing locally. Maybe you could give it a try:

I can't answer your specific question. But, it may help you to know that you can debug an actual iOS device by connecting it to a mac and using Safari's dev tools. Here's a page with the details:

Are these the setup instructions for routing regular static content through the app? I've been doing that for a while, but I was led to believe that ipad requires something different. (There's a WLN_iPad_DeveloperBuild.bat file in ~/StaticContent/build directory that might be relevant

The site requires an account, I don't mind setting one up but is there a free option? Thanks, the ability to do that may prove extremely useful

Yeah, these are just instructing for regular static content routing. I thought that it might have been worth a try, but it looks like you've already tried it.

strange. I don't have an account either. You can try this page:
http://moduscreate.com/enable-remote-web-inspector-in-ios-6/ I got to the first page by googleing "ios safari debug". For me, the 2nd result is the
tutsplus.com link. When I click on the result from Google, it does not require me to log in, but if I paste in the url, I have to log in.

here's the official page
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/GettingStarted/GettingStarted.html originally you needed xcode to do it, but now you just need safari on osx. it works in both ios simulator and with physical devices.
