Enabling Remote Debugging using Safari Web Inspector for iOS


- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Uncomment to enable remote debugging
    [NSClassFromString(@"WebView") _enableRemoteInspector];
....

Then use Safari to access http://localhost:9999 and you are debugging with Web Inspector and have full debugging capabilities including breakpoints and DOM manipulation among other things!

It only works on iOS5 and it only works when running in the simulator BUT it’s an awesome upgrade from Weinre if you are building an iOS app.

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!
