iOS8 iPhone 5 Mobile Safari cannot be inspected by Desktop Safari 7.0.6 .. "No Inspectable Applications"

I'm trying to debug a website on my iPhone. I used to be able to just connect the iPhone to my Mac and open up Safari. I'd click "Develop" and see my phone in that menu, then I could see each of my open Mobile Safari tabs from there.

Now, with iOS8 it no longer shows the open tabs on my Mobile Safari and instead of my open tabs I get "No Inspectable Applications".

enter image description here

I've made sure that Web Inspector is enabled.

Settings > Safari > Advanced > Web Inspector is on.

I'm not trying to open the 'tab' in private mode.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is this a bug with Apple?

Also, for what it's worth, I've reset both my phone and desktop, reset both safaris. Unplugged and reconnected the cable... I'm at a loss.

Solution

  • Updating to Safari 7.1 (available in App Store updates today, September, 18 2014) on OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks) enables remote debugging with iOS 8 Safari.

    You don't need Yosemite.
