How to Enable Developer on the iPad: A Step-by-Step Guide

Enabling Developer Mode on your iPad is a relatively straightforward process. It’s an essential step for anyone looking to develop apps, test out beta versions of iOS, or simply explore the more technical aspects of their device. After completing the action, a new world of possibilities opens up, including access to additional settings and features not available to the average user.

Introduction

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge into the world of iPad development. Whether you’re an aspiring app developer, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about what’s under the hood of your device, enabling Developer Mode on your iPad is your gateway to a whole new set of functionalities.

Developer Mode is essential for running and testing apps that you’re developing. It allows you to debug apps directly on your iPad, making the development process significantly easier and more efficient. It’s also a prerequisite for using Apple’s beta software, which lets you try out new features before they’re released to the public. This feature isn’t just for developers, though. If you’re the kind of person who likes to tweak settings and optimize your device’s performance, Developer Mode gives you access to tools that can help you do just that.

Step by Step Tutorial

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to know what these steps will accomplish. By following these instructions, you’ll unlock the Developer options on your iPad, which grants you access to features and settings that can help in the development of apps or for personal use to enhance your iPad experience.

Step 1: Update to the latest version of iOS

Ensure your iPad is updated to the latest version of iOS.

Updating your iPad to the latest version of iOS ensures that you have all the most recent features and security updates. This is crucial because Developer Mode can sometimes have features that are only supported on the newest versions of iOS.

Step 2: Install Xcode on your Mac

Download and install Xcode from the Mac App Store.

Xcode is Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) that you’ll need to develop apps for iOS. It’s only available on Mac, and it’s necessary for your iPad to be recognized for development purposes.

Step 3: Connect your iPad to your Mac

Use a USB cable to connect your iPad to your Mac.

This physical connection allows your Mac and iPad to communicate with each other, which is necessary for the next steps in enabling Developer Mode.

Step 4: Open Xcode

Launch Xcode on your Mac.

Opening Xcode initializes the environment you need to enable Developer Mode on your iPad. This step also helps Xcode to recognize your device.

Step 5: Open Developer options

Go to the ‘Window’ menu in Xcode, then select ‘Devices and Simulators’.

This will open a new window where you’ll be able to manage your connected devices, including your iPad.

Step 6: Enable Developer Mode

Select your iPad in the ‘Devices and Simulators’ window and enable Developer Mode.

You’ll need to trust your computer on your iPad, and you might need to enter your device passcode. After doing so, your iPad will be in Developer Mode, and you’ll have access to the additional settings and features that come with it.

Additional Information

While Developer Mode opens up a multitude of options, it’s important to proceed with caution. Make sure you understand the settings you’re changing, as some can significantly affect your iPad’s functionality. It’s also worth mentioning that enabling Developer Mode is different from jailbreaking your iPad, which is unsupported by Apple and can void your warranty.

Keep in mind that to maintain Developer Mode, you’ll need to keep Xcode installed on your Mac and occasionally connect your iPad to your Mac. If you’re serious about app development, consider joining the Apple Developer Program, which gives you additional resources like technical support and the ability to publish apps on the App Store.

  • Update your iPad to the latest iOS version.
  • Install Xcode on your Mac.
  • Connect your iPad to your Mac using a USB cable.
  • Open Xcode on your Mac.
  • Access ‘Devices and Simulators’ from the ‘Window’ menu in Xcode.
  • Enable Developer Mode for your iPad within Xcode.

The Safari browser on your iPad includes a Developer mode that can be used to debug Web pages. Your iPad disables this mode by default because the typical iPad user never needs to view Web page code. When you develop Web pages for your own company site, however, the iPad's debugger can help you catch your coding errors. Developer searches the code on Web pages for HTML, CSS and JavaScript syntax errors. Error messages appear at the top of the browser, and Safari also records the errors in a log.

Tap the "Settings" icon on the iPad home screen.

Tap "Safari" to open your browser's Settings window.

Tap "Advanced" in the Settings window's right pane.

Tap the button labeled "Debug Console" and slide it to "On" to enable Developer on the iPad.

  • Debugging Safari/Chrome on your iPhone/iPad/iOS device

dev mode safari ipad

In the world of modern web development, Web 2.0 (or is it 3.0?), with HTML5, CSS3, ES6, and frameworks and libraries up the wazoo, our web apps and sites always work seamlessly and flawlessly across all the browsers and devices… hahaha, I know…

The reality is, web development, as great and modern as it is, can have little caveats and nuances across the different browsers: Chrome, Safari, FireFox, Edge, and the Mac/Windows/Linux/iOS/Android versions of each. Thankfully, the big contenders like Netscape (those were the days) and Internet Explorer have finally been deprecated and are no longer expected to be supported in the wild. Even with the great modern web, we still have issues once in a while.

In my recent efforts in troubleshooting one small “nuance” between Chrome on Mac and Chrome and Safari on iOS (yes, all three were acting differently), I needed to debug my browser on my iPad and/or iPhone. I won’t get into what the issue is here, instead, I’ll get into how we can debug the browsers on our iOS devices. I’ve searched for many options, some worked, some didn’t, so below is what worked for me.

All steps below are all running on my:

  • MacBook Pro 16-inc, M1 Pro, running macOS Ventura 13.6
  • iPad Air (4th) v15.3.1
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS v17.0.3

What are we debugging

Before we get started in debugging, we should cover what we’re debugging. In the following debugging methods, we can debug anything our browser can get to: netflix.com, google.com, or our public website. With CI/CD in place, I can make code changes and get them into my dev environment in under 5 minutes, and that suffices at times. I can then hit the site directly on my iPhone and debug as needed.

Sometimes, if I’m really diving into a granular issue and don’t want to wait, I like to use ngrok. Ngrok spins up a gateway from a public address to your local dev machine. This allows me to troubleshoot realtime on my mobile browser while writing the code on my laptop. It’s pretty slick and has saved me a lot of time. I can even share the ngrok address with my colleagues and they can access it on my local machine too! Another option would be to set up DNS for your iPhone to navigate to your laptop while on the same wifi network, and that’s not worth the effort in my book.

Debugging in Chrome on iOS

This is great quick way to check out your console messages without using your Mac.

  • In Chrome on your iPad or iPhone, go to chrome://inspect and then press Start Logging .
  • Now go do your thing in another tab, keeping this tab open.
  • Come back anytime to see any and all console outputs!

See, no laptop/desktop needed, just do it on the mobile device.

This is as far as we can get with Chrome on iPhone/iPad. From my limited understanding, Chrome for iOS uses a WKWebView which gets difficult to actually attach to and debug. If the JavaScript console output isn’t enough, try Safari…

Debugging in Safari on iOS

This is a great method of debugging your iOS devices as it gives you the closest thing to actually debugging on your computer. With this method you can use the dev tools on your Mac to connect to your iOS Safari browser. It’s pretty sweet.

  • On your Mac , open Safari, then go to Safari > Settings.
  • Click Advanced and click Show Develop menu in menu bar at the bottom of the window. Close the window.
  • On your iPad or iPhone , go to Settings > Safari > Advanced.
  • Scroll to the bottom and enable Web Inspector .

For this next part, I recommend using a USB cable to attach your iOS device to your Mac. You might get away with doing this over Wifi, as I have in the past, but it’s not reliable .

  • Connect your device to your Mac using a USB cable, or try the following over Wifi.
  • On your Mac, in Safari, click the Develop menu.
  • Near the top of the menu you should see your iPad or iPhone listed.
  • Hover over your device in the menu and you’ll see Safari with each tab listed below. Click the one you want to debug.
  • The Web Inspector should then appear, now debug it: Elements, Console, Sources, Network, all of it should work!

Good enough for now

Between these two techniques, I’ve been able to troubleshoot my issues quite successfully. Generally, iOS Safari and Chrome act relatively the same, so debugging in Safari helps me clear my Chrome issue. And if it doesn’t I can always throw in more console.log s and see what Chrome is actually doing. Ideally, we should be able to debug the code directly on Chrome, like we can do with Safari, but at this time it’s just not possible.

One other option, for a cost: inspect.dev

There’s a product called inspect.dev that boasts it can debug Safari, Webviews, and Chrome from macOS, Windows, and Linux. Learn more at https://inspect.dev/why . I have not tried them out, I don’t want to pay for something that should be free for developers (hence this blog post).

Let me know if you know other ways to debug your mobile browsers! Leave a comment below or let’s connect on Twitter .

‘Til next time, happy debugging!

You should also check out using x-code’s simulator. Safari Dev Tools can attach to the Safari session on the simulator and you’re off to the races!

Oh yea, i just found that and then forgot that… thanks I’ll check it out closer and share my findings!

Thanks for article. One small correction Chrome for iOS uses WKWebView.

Thanks for the fix! will update

Coding on iPadOS: Browser Dev Tools with Inspect

Coding on iPadOS: Browser Dev Tools with Inspect

If you’re a web developer who uses an iPad, you will eventually need access to a browser with developer tools. These tools should allow inspecting the DOM tree, changing an element’s HTML, and tweaking CSS rules. Such tasks are trivial on macOS, but the only way to inspect a web page rendered by Safari on iPadOS is to connect your iPad to a Mac.

Is that the end of the web developer tools story on iPad? Do we pack it up and go back to our Macs?

No! Inspect Browser is an iOS and iPadOS app that gives you a browser with developer tools. If you’re a web developer with an iPad, you absolutely need this app.

Few people seem to know about Inspect, so this post will take a breezy tour of its strengths and weaknesses.

Is the Inspect App Legit?

An app called “Inspect” should probably support inspecting HTML and CSS. Good news: Inspect lives up to its name and goes beyond the basics to provide a nice set of developer tools (this is no “Firebug Lite”).

As a web developer, I want to point to an element on a page and see these things:

  • The element’s position in the DOM tree
  • The markup used for the element
  • The CSS rules applied to the element

I also want to interact with JavaScript running on the page.

Inspect can do all of this.

Inspecting HTML

Inspect gives you a modal browsing experience with a “Tap to Inspect Mode” toggle that, when activated, lets you tap on any visible element to reveal it in a representation of the DOM tree in the sidebar.

dev mode safari ipad

This functions the same way that developer tools in desktop browsers do. You can also tap items within the DOM tree to view the same details.

The sidebar is resizable, thankfully.

The sidebar can also be positioned to the right or the bottom of the screen.

Hey, I Wrote a Book!

The Temple of Django Database Performance is my new book that mashes up tabletop gaming, databases, and Django. Explore a ruined temple while you learn advanced Django database performance tricks!

Modifying Markup With Live Preview

Once you inspect an element, you can edit its markup and preview the result live.

dev mode safari ipad

Web developers should be familiar with this behavior from other browsers – it’s a godsend sometimes!

Viewing CSS

The CSS tab allows viewing the element’s CSS rules. You can also edit CSS rules with live updates, similar to HTML markup.

dev mode safari ipad

Being able to tweak and adjust styles and markup with a live preview of the running page means that this tool allows doing frontend work on an iPad that simply wasn’t possible before Inspect. Buy this app!

Testing Responsive Layouts

Desktop browsers all include responsive layout tools now, and Inspect follows this trend. The app has a “Design” tab that lists different device size presets. Selecting one of these sets the viewport of the document to that size, e.g. an iPhone 8 Plus.

JavaScript Console

To debug JavaScript, use console.log() . If you log JavaScript objects this way, they will appear in the “Console” tab of the app as an interactive object representation.

dev mode safari ipad

Did You Just Say There Is No JavaScript Debugger?

There is no JavaScript debugger in Inspect. 50% of JavaScript developers should find this news completely uninteresting, while the other 50% will cry tears of blood.

I’m a debugger kind of guy, so this is the only weakness of the app that I’ve found.

Summary: I Love This App

As mentioned at the beginning of this review, Inspect is legit. I love this app because A) it works well and B) it’s one of several apps created by developers for developers to write and test code directly on an iPad. Nice work!

How to Activate the iPhone Debug Console or Web Inspector

Use Safari's web developer tools to study problematic websites

dev mode safari ipad

  • Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
  • Switching from Android

What to Know

  • Activate Web Inspector on iOS: Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and move the Web Inspector toggle switch to the On position.
  • Use Web Inspector on macOS: Connect your iOS device to a Mac and choose the URL to inspect from the Develop menu.

If you run into a bug or another issue with a website on Safari mobile, use the Web Inspector tool to investigate. This article explains how to use the Safari console for iPhone to debug errors with the help of your Mac computer. Instructions apply to iPhones with iOS 14, iOS 12, or iOS 11, and well as Macs with macOS Big Sur (11.0), macOS Catalina (10.15), or macOS Mojave (10.14).

Activate Web Inspector on Your iPhone or Other iOS Device

The Web Inspector is disabled by default since most iPhone users have no use for it. However, if you're a developer or you're curious, you can activate it in a few short steps. Here's how:

Open the iPhone  Settings  menu.

On an iPhone with an early version of iOS, access the Debug Console through Settings > Safari > Developer > Debug Console . When Safari on the iPhone detects CSS, HTML, and JavaScript errors, details of each display in the debugger.

Scroll down and tap  Safari  to open the screen that contains everything related to the Safari web browser on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Advanced .

Move the Web Inspector toggle switch to the On position.

Connect Your iOS Device to Safari on a Mac

To use the Web Inspector, connect your iPhone or another iOS device to a Mac that has the Safari web browser and enable the Develop menu .

With Safari open, select Safari from the menu bar and choose  Preferences .

Select the  Advanced  tab.

Select the Show Develop menu in menu bar check box and close the settings window.

From the Safari menu bar, select Develop and choose the name of your attached iOS device, then select the URL that appears under Safari to open the debug console for that site.

After you connect your device, use your Mac to inspect the website you want to debug and have it open in the Safari mobile browser.

What Is Web Inspector?

Web developers use Web Inspector to modify, debug, and optimize websites on Macs and iOS devices. With Web Inspector open, developers can inspect the resources on a web page. The Web Inspector window contains editable HTML and notes regarding the styles and layers of the web page in a separate panel.

Before iOS 6, the iPhone Safari web browser had a built-in Debug Console that developers used to find web page defects. Recent versions of iOS use Web Inspector instead.

With Safari 9 and OS X Mavericks (10.9), Apple introduced Responsive Design Mode in Web Inspector. Developers use this built-in simulator to preview how web pages scale to different screen sizes, resolutions, and orientations.

To set up Web Inspector on your iPad, open your iPad's Settings and select Safari > Advanced , then turn Web Inspector On . Connect the iPad to a Mac computer, then open Safari on the Mac and select Safari > Preferences > Advanced , then turn on Show Develop menu in menu bar .

You cannot just connect your iPhone to a Windows PC and start using Web Inspector through Chrome like you can with a Mac. Installing package manager software can provide you a sort of workaround, but it's not recommended unless you're familiar with the package management app you intend to use.

how-to-enable-developer-mode-on-iphone-or-ipad-turn-on-dev-mode

Developer Mode, a feature introduced in iOS 16 and watchOS 9, protects users from inadvertently installing potentially harmful software. It doesn’t interfere with standard app installations from the App Store or TestFlight, but it plays a crucial role when performing actions like Build and Run in Xcode, or installing an .ipa file using Apple Configurator. In such scenarios, the device will ask for confirmation that the user is aware of the risks associated with installing development-signed software.

When Itunes opens, a pop-up message will appear saying: “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore iPhone or iPad in iOS 11 /iOS 12 before you can use it with iTunes.”

In addition to the message stating that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, your iPhone or iPad screen should also turn black, confirming that you have successfully booted your device into Developer Mode.

To use developer mode, you must have a Mac computer and Xcode software. You can use the Mac or Xcode to turn on the Developer mode on your iPhone. Here’s how to enable developer mode on your iPhone.

How to enable developer mode on iPhone and iPad: Using Xcode

You can also enable developer mode on an iPhone by using Xcode. However, this is a longer process, and you need a Mac computer. But if you also need to use Xcode, this will be two birds with a stone, so follow these steps…

How to download and install Xcode on your Mac to enable developer mode on iPhone?

How to download and install Xcode to Mac?

Before utilizing the developer options on an iPhone, you must start downloading the Apple Xcode application on the system. You can only download and install Xcode to a Mac because this software is limited to use on a Mac.

  • Open your web browser and go to Apple’s Developer Downloads webpage.
  • After entering the login credentials, you should be able to access the developer window. To log in to the developer window, use your Apple ID and a secure password that has been registered with Apple.
  • If you haven’t already logged in by entering the Apple account email and password, you must now type in the confirmation code. This code may also be used on an iPhone or another device where you are signed in with your Apple ID.
  • Tap the Download option near the Xcode app’s title. Press the Download option given under Xcode release notes below the “Release Software” option.
  • After that, you will be sent to the App Store Preview page on the new interface. Select View in Mac App Store from the drop-down menu. This option may be found on the right side beneath the Xcode symbol in the left column of the browsing software window.
  • Select the Open App Store choice from the drop-down list. On the App Store screen, you’ll see an Xcode app.
  • Tap the Get button. It’s the one with the Xcode symbol in the upper left corner of the App Store window. The Install App option becomes an olive color. Select Install App from the drop-down menu.

How to install and enable Xcode on Mac?

  • Launch the Xcode application installed on the Mac using the search or app list.
  • Now connect your iPhone to the Mac. Using a USB cable, you can easily pair your iPhone to the Mac.
  • Next, you should go to the Settings application on your iPhone.
  • Scroll down until you see the Developer option and tap on it.

New iOS 16 Developer Mode

There is a new Developer Mode in iOS 16 and watchOS 9. Users who have access to developer mode on their phones will be able to install apps immediately through Configurator, as long as they declare that they are developers. This may signify what will be necessary to use third-party app stores later.

Developers can now develop, publish, and distribute iOS apps on their iPhones for testing. Developers can give customers the option of using TestFlight to try out the app before release. Now Apple has introduced a new thing between these two, suggesting that Developer Mode may be a step toward allowing third-party applications on iPhone in the future.

How to enable developer mode on iPhone and iPad: New iOS 16 Developer Mode changes things

In a new developer document, Apple said, “Developer Mode, introduced in iOS 16 and watchOS 9, protects people from inadvertently installing potentially harmful software on their devices and reduces attack vectors exposed by developer-only functionality.”

The document continues, “The feature doesn’t affect standard installation techniques like buying apps from the App Store or participating in a TestFlight team. Instead, Developer Mode focuses on scenarios like performing a Build and Run in Xcode, or installing an .ipa file with Apple Configurator.”

So the thing we understand from this document is that the apps distributed outside of the App Store will be in this .ipa format.

Apple says in the document, “In these cases, the device explicitly asks the person using it to confirm that they’re a developer aware of the risks of installing development-signed software.”

Opening Developer Mode requires a user to go through several steps, including rebooting the device and accepting numerous warnings. It’s not the case that a bad actor can turn it on and install harmful apps. If Apple’s new choice is a step towards an alternative future with third-party app stores, the company isn’t giving up on its effort to keep control.

Is it safe to enable developer mode?

No, there is no technical or security problem with developer settings enabled on your iPhone or iPad. The reason why they are usually disabled is that they aren’t important for regular users, and some of the options can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Developer settings include features that allow you to change how your device works, which is why they can be dangerous. For example, you can use the Settings app to enable or disable USB Restricted Mode. If you disable this setting, anyone with physical access to your device will be able to connect it to a computer and access your data. So if you’re not a developer, we recommend that you leave the developer settings on your device.

iOS 16: How to enable developer mode on iPhone and iPad?

What can developer mode do?

Developer mode on your iPhone or iPad gives you access to additional settings meant for developers. These settings can change how your device works, and they can be dangerous if used incorrectly. For example, you can use the Settings app to enable or disable USB Restricted Mode. If you disable this setting, anyone with physical access to your device will be able to connect it to a computer and access your data. So if you’re not a developer, we recommend that you leave the developer settings on your device.

Can I enable developer mode without being a developer?

No, you do not need to be a registered developer with Apple to enable the Developer Mode settings. This setting is for people developing apps for iOS, and it’s not meant for regular users. But sometimes, as a regular user, you might need to enable developer options on your iPhone or iPad to make a little unusual modification.

Will developer options drain my device’s battery?

If you are confident in using your device’s developer options, you may turn off animations. Animations look nice while using your phone and help to highlight important information, but they can slow down performance and drain battery life. They do, however, need Developer Mode to be enabled, so it’s not for beginner-level users.

Today we explained how to enable developer mode on iPhone and iPad regardless of your iOS or iPadOS version, hope this helped you.

A Step-by-Step Guide Debug Mode on iPad

The iPad is a powerful device that can be used for a variety of tasks, from multimedia consumption to gaming to business applications. But sometimes, things don’t work as expected and you need to debug your iPad. That’s where debug mode comes in.

Debug mode allows developers and advanced users to access the inner workings of the iPad and troubleshoot problems. It provides access to system logs, application logs, and other diagnostic information that can help identify what is causing a problem. Debug mode also enables logging to the Xcode console so developers can view detailed information about their applications and track down bugs quickly.

To enable debug mode on an iPad, go to Settings > Security & Privacy and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you will find Developer Mode which can be enabled by turning on the toggle switch. After you have done that, restart your device so that the changes take effect.

Once debug mode is enabled on your iPad, you will be able to use various tools such as Xcode console logging or web inspector on Safari browser for debugging purposes. With these tools, you will be able to locate exactly where a particular problem is occurring in your application or system logs so that it can be corrected quickly and efficiently.

Debugging an iPad requires some technical knowledge but it is not impossible for those who are willing to learn the basics of how this process works. With debug mode enabled, you can take full control over your device and identify any problems that may arise quickly and easily without having to call in professional help every time something isn’t working as expected.

A Step-by-Step Guide Debug Mode on iPad 1

Enabling Debug Mode on an iPad

In order to enable debug mode on an iPad, you will need to access the device’s Security & Privacy settings. To do so, go to Settings > Security & Privacy and scroll to the bottom of the section. You will see a toggle labeled “Developer Mode” – switch this toggle on. A security warning will appear prompting for confirmation – select “OK” and then restart your device. Once your iPad has restarted, debug mode will be enabled and you can begin debugging your apps.

Debugging Mode in iOS

Debug mode in iOS allows developers to see detailed logs of various Tapjoy actions, such as sessions, placements, purchases, custom events, etc., that appear in the Tapjoy Developer Console. This setting also enables logging into the Xcode console to help developers better debug their apps and troubleshoot any issues they may be having. Enabling this setting, it allows developers to investigate potential issues more quickly and with more accuracy.

Opening Debug in iOS

To open debug in iOS, you will need to connect your iOS device to a Mac machine. Then, enable the Web Inspector option in your device’s Settings > Safari menu. After that, open the desired web page in your mobile Safari browser. Finally, enable the Develop menu on your Mac machine. Once this is done, you will be able to debug and preview your web page on the iOS device.

Activating Developer Mode on an iPad

Yes, there is a Developer Mode available on iPads. To access it, go to Settings > Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Developer Mode list item. You can then toggle the “Developer Mode” switch to enable it. With Developer Mode enabled, developers can access additional features and settings that are not normally available on iPads.

Using Debug Mode for Troubleshooting

Debug mode is an important feature for software developers and testers, as it allows them to identify errors in the code that could be causing unexpected behavior in the application. Debug mode enables developers to set breakpoints within the code, which allows them to pause the execution of the program at a certain point and inspect its state. This helps them identify mistakes in logic or syntax and get insights into how the program works. Debugging also allows users to monitor variables and track down memory leaks that are slowing down applications. Overall, debug mode helps developers quickly find and fix bugs so they can create better software.

Inspecting an iPad

To inspect an element on an iPad, you need to first enable the Web Inspector in the Settings app. To do this, open the Settings app and select Safari from the list of apps. Then check the “Enable Web Inspector” box and close out of Settings.

Once you have enabled the Web Inspector, open Safari and navigate to the webpage that you want to inspect. When you are on the page, press and hold down on any element for a few seconds until a menu appears. Select “Inspect Element” from this menu and it will open up a Web Inspector window with all of the HTML code for that element. You can then edit or make changes to this code as needed.

Opening Developer Tools in Safari on iPad

In order to open developer tools in Safari on an iPad, you will first need to go into the Settings app and select the Safari tab. From there, you will need to scroll down and select the Advanced option. On this page, you will need to toggle the Web Inspector switch so that it is green and active.

Once this is done, you will need to connect your iPad to your computer using a USB cable. On your computer, open Safari and then access the settings menu. In here, you should be able to find an option for ‘Developer’ which can be used to enable the developer tools feature. Once enabled, you should find your iPad listed under this tab.

By following these steps, you should be able to open developer tools in Safari on an iPad with ease!

Enabling Debugging in Safari

In order to open debugging in Safari, you will need to use the Terminal application. First, open the Terminal application and enter the following command: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1. This will enable the debug menu in Safari. Once this is done, you will need to relaunch Safari for the changes to take effect. To disable debugging in Safari, use the same command but with a 0 as opposed to a 1 at the end (e.g., defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0). Again, make sure you relaunch Safari afterward for the changes to take effect.

In conclusion, iPad debug mode is a powerful tool that can be used to test and debug native apps on physical iPads. It enables developers to observe Tapjoy actions such as sessions, placements, purchases, and custom events in the Tapjoy Developer Console. Additionally, USB Debugging can be enabled on an Android device in order to view logs in the Xcode console. By utilizing this feature, developers can identify any issues with other applications and ensure they are running optimally.

Beautiful, and actually useful AI features!

I got the email announcement for this and had to download it immediately. While the AI research isn’t perfect, it does about as well (for me) as GPT-4 without the monthly subscription. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind paying a small monthly fee for it, but I’m glad it’s free for now. It’s also super clean and the haptic feedback makes it feel alive! Having the full screen taken up by the webpage with only a small navigation bar at the bottom is interesting, and I would complain about the lack of buttons, however for a mobile browser, I kinda like the simplicity. If this ever gets ported to iPadOS (PLEASE!!!!), I would like to see more buttons available with one click instead of having to hit the up arrow and then back. Can’t wait to see more cool features in the future!

Amazing, needs some work

I absolutely love Arc on Mac. And I so much want to be able to use Arc on all of my devices. But the truth is I don’t use my iPhone for web browsing that much. I use my iPad and my Mac. And unfortunately, there is no version of any arc for iPad natively. only the scaled versions of the iPhone apps, which are unfortunately just not suitable for normal browsing. At least there is the Arc sync app where I can get my tabs that I need. But that just adds many extra steps when on iPad it would be nice to just have an arc with sync and with all the features, that should be an arc. The four stars, however are because I know it is still new and I know they’re still working on everything. The one star missing is just for the fact that there is no native iPad app and there is no all in one app in general. If you have a Mac, I absolutely recommend downloading Arc. And if you use your iPhone for web browsing also recommend. And if you have an iPad, I would highly recommend sending out your request to the developers so that they know that it should be a priority.
I'm in love with this app. Seriously, thank you for just creating a simple, straightforward tool that can be downloaded and used in under a minute. No tedious account setup, no intrusive ads, no subscription pop-ups, and best of all, the app is simple enough to not even need a tutorial — you just type in whatever you'd like to search, and a beautiful, minimalistic article self-generates that provides more than enough knowledge than what a half-hour of searching on Google would have taught. I especially appreciate that the app just sticks to what it was designed best for and isn't attempting to execute additional features that aren't as useful. I definitely look forward to seeing what else this company has to offer! Their products feel very well intentioned.

Eu rejects apple’s european app store changes: company could be fined 10% of global turnover.

Avatar for Ben Lovejoy

The EU has today announced that it is not satisfied that Apple’s App Store changes comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and the company is now officially under investigation for non-compliance.

If that investigation confirms that Apple failed to comply with the antitrust law, then the iPhone maker could be fined up to 10% of its worldwide turnover – increasing to 20% for repeat infringements …

The story so far

The DMA requires tech giants to ensure that they are not using a dominant market position to give their own products and services an unfair advantage over competing ones.

The first step in the process was to decide which companies qualified as “gatekeepers” under the law – that is, companies whose power was enough to effectively harm competitors. Apple was found to be a gatekeeper in terms of the App Store, as there was no other way for a developer to sell iPhone apps. That meant the company was obliged to make policy changes to comply with the DMA.

Apple announced that it would allow third-party app stores , but with a mass of asterisks. These included charging a Core Technology Fee for any app sold outside of its own App Store, which could potentially bankrupt small developers .

We said at the time that these proposals were not going to satisfy the EU .

Apple has bought itself some time here for sure – in part, because what it has come up with is so complicated it will take regulators some time to digest all the details and run all the numbers. But there seems little doubt that Apple is aiming to do everything it can to make leaving the App Store as difficult and expensive as possible. Once all the dust has settled, it seems pretty clear that regulators are  not  going to consider what Apple has done as DMA compliant. 

App Store changes investigated for non-compliance

As we predicted, the EU has today announced that it is not satisfied with the changes Apple has made, and the company is now subject to a non-compliance investigation. Google and Meta are also under investigation for their own responses to the DMA.

Today, the Commission has opened non-compliance investigations under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) into Alphabet’s rules on steering in Google Play and self-preferencing on Google Search, Apple’s rules on steering in the App Store and the choice screen for Safari and Meta’s “pay or consent model”. The Commission suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance of their obligations under the DMA. In addition, the Commission has launched investigatory steps relating to Apple’s new fee structure for alternative app stores […] Apple’s new fee structure and other terms and conditions for alternative app stores and distribution of apps from the web (sideloading) may be defeating the purpose of its obligations under Article 6(4) of the DMA.

Safari choice screen also under investigation

Another DMA requirement was for Apple to ensure that iPhone users had a free choice of web browser. The company announced that it would make this possible with a new option screen during iPhone setup .

This has now been implemented, and seems to be having at least some small effect . However, the EU is not satisfied with the specifics of this – which may simply be down to the wording used. This one is likely to be easily resolved.

Maximum fine is 10% of total worldwide turnover

The maximum fines allowed under many laws are trivial for a company of Apple’s size – but this is not the case with the DMA.

In case of an infringement, the Commission can impose fines up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide turnover. Such fines can go up to 20% in case of repeated infringement.

Top comment by Karl Meszaros

Apple management has to accept that they're going to have to adapt to a new reality. They've made trillions of dollars. They have a massive, loyal, consumer base. They're going to be incredibly successful, no matter what. The only thing that can be of any real danger to them is antagonizing governments to the point that they do something drastic

Apple’s 2023 turnover was $383B, which could mean fines of up to $38 billion initially, rising to $76 billion.

Investigation aims to complete in less than a year

Such investigations take time, but in this case the stated goal is to complete it in less than a year – which is lightning speed by the usual standard.

That won’t be the end of matters, however. If the EU does find Apple non-compliant, the Cupertino company will appeal the ruling, and we will then be set for literally years of court battles as the case works its way up the court hierarchy.
