Enable web inspector on a webview in Swift

Question

Trying to build an iPad app with a webview, how would you go about adding the web inspector using swift?

Accepted Answer

if you are trying in WKWebView then you can bring WebInspector using the following code snippet

```
preferences.setValue(true, forKey:"developerExtrasEnabled")
```

Here is the complete code if anybody wants to try

As far as I have tried it works in OSX and not in iOS

I have raised a question for this anomaly

Update

WKPreference is not key value coding-compliant for the key developerExtrasEnabled so we can't do this using this approach.

Hence the easiest approach would be

Plug the phone into your mac and inspect it through the Safari Develop menu..Here are the steps to achieve it.

If you're using iOS >= 6 and you have mountain lion (10.8) or Safari >= 6, you can just:

Open the application in the simulator (or your device in XCode >= 4.5.x)

Open Safari (go to Preferences -> Advanced and make sure "Show Develop Menu in Menubar" is on.

From the Menu-bar (of Safari) select Develop -> iPhone Simulator -> [your webview page].

The beauty is it works for UIWebView,WKWebView too..
