Chrome Remote Debugging Shows Device But Not Inspect Link

I want to remote debug an Android app on Chrome. My device is Qmobile A11 Note with Android v4.0.4, Google Chrome v42 and Cordova v3.7. I have enabled USB debuging on my device. I

Solution 1:

If you app is signed-released version then you can't be able to see under chrome://inspect. Because released version are disable the debugging mode.

Use only debug version apk for chrome://inspect.

Solution 2:

For application debugging you need android 4.4+ OS device. OS version of your Qmobile A11 is 4.0. For more info please refer : https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

For browser debugging(if you host your app as webapp) Android 4.0+ is enough.

If you are using cordova 4.0+ then you can add crosswalk(https://github.com/crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview) as a plugin by which you can bundle chromium instance in the apk so with Andorid 4.0+ device also you can use device inspector.

Solution 3:

Your project must be enable WebContentsDebugging, it will work fine on android 4.4 or above

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
 {
    WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
 }

Solution 4:

If you are using production build apk which doesnt have any debugging info, you might be getting this issue. If that is the case, inspect would show the device listed but not the app inspect link.

Use the debuggable apk.

Solution 5:

try this :

1. Go to http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ download and check if your adb driver is install right or not ? If wrong , please reinstall it.
2. Access to C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools , open cmd from here ( Shift + right click) and type : adb devices . You should see a device in the list.
3. Back to your chrome://inspect/#devices and you will see your devices ready for inspect .
