I have Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) and WebKit nightly (8536.30.1, 538+) and I'm trying to debug a website in iOS 7 iPad simulator ( XCode Version 5.0 (5A1413).

I choose Develop->iPad simulator in Safari, Web Inspector starts showing me the website's resources and DOM, and I enable few breakpoints in JavaScript file of the website. Then I perform something with the site to reach my breakpoints.

The site freezes, as if it reached the breakpoint but Web Inspector doesn't show that it reached anything and doesn't show any variables. I even do not see the variables pane.

What am I doing wrong?

• As a web developer, you should use Firefox. – StackSlave Commented May 16, 2016 at 4:09
• 4 @PHPglue you can only inspect website on iDevices from Safari. So using Firefox isn't going to help. – Kevin Kromjong Commented May 17, 2016 at 11:38

Firstly, Update your browser and secondly open Firefox Inspector and then run your application.
