How to develop cordova apps for Jelly Bean?

Question

I've been building a cordova/ionic app and everything was looking great except on Android devices with Jelly Bean. These issues are incredibly difficult to sort out without an inspector. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

I've found that the best way to develop for Jelly Bean is by using an old version of a webkit browser. I particularly use Safari 5.7.1 but since I'm on OSX I have to use a windows VM to run it.

I downloaded an old copy of Safari here

Hope this info is helpful to someone else.
