Remote web inspector requirements for browsers on iOS 16

Hello Guys,

Our application has default web browser entitlement: com.apple.developer.web-browser. However, I am not seeing it in Desktop Safari's Developer menu, I am using iPadOS 16 beta 2(20A5303i), Web Inspector is enabled in Safari's Advanced menu.

Do we need to do some additional updates like rebuilding app with Xcode 14 or build that we currently have in AppStore should work without any modifications?

can you debug in third-party browsers?

@huangzhikai,

What do you mean by "third-party browsers"?

I have tried on the most popular "third-party browsers" for iOS: Chrome for iOS and Firefox for iOS. The result is the same as in our browser: they are not displayed in the Desktop Safari Developer menu.

Looks like something missing either in WebKit or in iOS browsers code.

p.s. This time I tested on iOS 16.0 developer beta 3(20A5312g) with both Desktop Safari 15.5 (17613.2.7.1.8) and Desktop Safari Technology Preview Release 148 (Safari 16.0, WebKit 17614.1.17.1)
