Enabling the Inspection of Web Content in Apps
In iOS 16.4 Apple made it possible for developers to control how WKWebView or JSContexts are inspectable via new isInspectable property. This means that if your app is using WebViews you probably need to set the isInspectable to true before Inspect can detect and debug your app.
