You have to specifically build a Debug build of your app for debugging. As these apps are downloaded from the stores they are built in production/distribution mode where debugging is disabled. Note: You can not debug apps running in Ionic View or the Ionic DevApp. It is executed in the WebView of Cordova.įortunately, you can set up development devices for remote debugging with your desktop browser to use the debugging functionality as well. When testing a Debug build of your app on emulators, simulators or real devices with ionic cordova run ios|android or similar (like ionic cordova emulate or after distributing a test version built with ionic cordova build via a third party beta distribution service), your app is not running directly in a browser any more. Profile your app for Performance or Memory problems.Inspect Storage, Cache, Manifest or Service Workers.Inspect elements, HTML, JavaScript or CSS.Show history and details of Network requests.When you use ionic serve to run your application in the browser, your browser’s DevTools can be used to debug your app.
