Problem running on Debian 8

[Eccenux]

Preparations

First I'll share some things I already figured out:

1. Kind of obvious part was that - on a clean machine - you might also need:

   apt-get install git
   apt-get install make

2. What was not obvious is that you need to set up testing repos for Debian (e.g. as described here).

3. And... After you install standard packages:

   apt-get install autoconf automake libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libplist-dev libplist++-dev usbmuxd libtool libimobiledevice-dev

4. ...It was also required to re-install some packages from testing repos:

   apt-get -t testing install libimobiledevice-dev
   apt-get -t testing install libplist-dev

5. And then do standard stuff which is:

   git clone https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy.git
   cd ios-webkit-debug-proxy
   ./autogen.sh
   make
   make install

Problem

Steps

So after I finally was able to run ./autogen.sh what I did was:

1. Attach iPhone (I can see it on my desktop, I can browse files).
2. Enable the inspector.
3. Run ios_webkit_debug_proxy.
4. Open http://localhost:9221/ in Chrome.

Result

root@debian8:~# ios_webkit_debug_proxy
Listing devices on :9221
Could not start com.apple.webinspector!: Success
Unable to attach f30d9...53dff32a...31 inspector

And list on http://localhost:9221/ is empty.

Expected

I expected something like Starting com.apple.webinspector: Success or something.

And my device visible after visiting http://localhost:9221/.

Notes

And BTW I cannot run idevice_id -l (no such command). But I'm guessing it's MacOS specific (installed with XCode).

The iPhone is 4S with iOS 9.3.5.

hi @Eccenux there was a similar issue here #82 (comment)

[artygus]

Closing since no reply from author.

[Eccenux]

Just for the record - comment from issue #82 doesn't seem related or I failed to see how that helps.

I was not able to really start the webinspector (seems like the message misleading says "success" while it is not fully started). And I'm assuming this is why I cannot see my device on the list.

@Eccenux idevice_id comes with libimobiledevice, could you try installing it and try idevice_id -l once again? Issue doesnt look related to iwdp to me, more like troubles with libimobiledevice

[Eccenux]

Hm... So this makes idevice_id -l work:

git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice.git
cd libimobiledevice
#./autogen.sh #-> fail: /usr/bin/python-config: not found
apt-get install python2.7-dev
#./autogen.sh #->...OpenSSL could not be found
apt-get install libssl-dev
./autogen.sh
make
make install

BUT there is still a problem with connecting to device.

root@debian8:~# ios_webkit_debug_proxy
Listing devices on :9221
Could not start com.apple.webinspector!: Success
Unable to attach f30d938193...0253dff32a04831 inspector

Are there some logs I could check?

PS: I've already enabled WWW Inspector in iOS settings.

[artygus]

but does idevice_id -l shows your device? I think the express solution is to remove existing apt-packages and rebuild usbmuxd, libusbmuxd, libimobildevice and ios-webkit-device-proxy from sources and see if it works
