I have been trying to debug an Apache Cordova app with Visual Studio 2015 RC in a Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine. The app is running in an iOS simulator in a MAC OS host using vs-mda-remote (I've tried with different iPhone versions), but the debug always times out. There doesn't seem to be a proper error, only the following:
Starting launch process C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-tac\emulator.js" --platform ios --action launch --path
"C:\XXXXX\bld\ios\Debug\buildInfo.json" --serverUrl iMac-User.local:3000 --language pt-PT --cliVersion 5.1.1 --deployTarget "iPhone 5"
Timed out connecting debugger to remote Apache Cordova app. See Output window for JavaScript console output.
------ Cordova Tools 5.1.1 already installed.
emulated - Successfully sent to ios Simulator
Emulating app at /Users/user/remote-builds/builds/5689/cordovaApp for target iPhone 5
Asking to debug in remote iOS device for buildNumber 5689 in server iMac-User.local:3000...
Fail to debug remote iOS in order to compile C:\XXXXX\bld\ios\Debug\buildInfo.json to http://iMac-User.local:3000 : iPhone 5
I have already tried to clean cordova's cache, using vs-mda-remote --secure false and some other suggestions I found online. However, nothing seems to work. It's not the project itself, as a friend of mine is able to debug it. The configuration from his computer seem to be the same as mine.
Any ideas on what might be the problem? Thanks.
I have found the problem, there must have been something wrong with the installation of Homebrew. So I reinstalled it, and forced install ios-webkit-debug-proxy. This solved my problem and I am now able to debug the app.
