Hi,
To debug HTML articles in iOS, try the following:
- Make sure that the app is signed with a non-enterprise Apple certificate.
- On the iOS device, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and enable Web Inspector.
- On a Mac, open Safari and go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check Show Develop menu in menu bar.
- Plug the iOS device into the computer (using a lightning to USB cable).
- If prompted to trust the computer, select yes.
- On the Mac Safari, select the Develop tab and you should see the name of your iOS device listed.
- Hover over the iOS device name and you'll see Index.html.
- Select that and it'll open the console, similar to how you would Inspect Element on a web page in Safari.
To debug HTML articles in Android, try the following:
- On the Android device, go to Settings > About tablet and tap on the Build number until you get the message that you are now a developer.
- Go to Settings > Developer options and enable USB debugging.
- Plug the android device into the computer.
- If prompted to trust the computer, select yes.
- Open Chrome on the computer and enter the following URL: chrome://inspect.
- Check the Discover USB devices and you should see the Android device listed on this page.
- Click on the Android device listed to web inspect the HTML content.
