iPad connected through USB disappears off Safari Develop menu after a short while on iOS 11

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.
