iPad is on iOS 11, trying to debug using safari develop menu. I am using a MacBook Pro 2016 on MacOS Sierra. The iPad name appears in the develop menu for about 5 seconds. After this time it disappears. If I unplug the iPad and re-plug it, the name appears, again, only briefly. Then it disappears again. Anyone sharing the same issue? Any fixes would be appreciated.

The correct solution is described here: Safari Web inspector keeps disconnecting <ol> <li>Make sure both Safari on your tethered device and machine are up to date</li> <li>Disconnect</li> <li>On your device go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy</li> <li>Re-connect</li> </ol>
