Browserstack: Developer Tools for iPad?

Question

I am using Browserstack to test some websites on the iPad. I just don't seem to get where the developer tools are within that emulator. Shouldn't there be Firebug Lite somewhere? Can someone point the dev tools out to me please?

Answer 1

As I posted here, Browserstack now appears to support Dev Tools, but only on physical devices (those with a blue mobile icon, below).

You activate the dev tools by clicking the button in the toolbar:

Answer 2

Launch iOS simulator from BrowserStack.

Once loaded, from the OSX menu bar, click Help > Mac Help.

In the open window type "Safari" in the search box.

Click "Safari Overview".

Click "Open Safari for me".

From the Safari menu bar, click Develop > iOS Simulator > (the iOS tab you want to inspect)

I'm Gary from BrowserStack. Currently, developer tools are available only for desktop browsers. Supporting developer tools on mobile is on our roadmap, and we will keep you posted.
