WKDevKit App is a developer-focused showcase app that demonstrates how far you can go toward Safari Web Inspector–style debugging inside a WKWebView. Built with SwiftUI and powered by the open-source WKDevKit, this app exposes live web state—storage, DOM structure, cookies, console output, and more—without relying on external Safari tooling. This app is designed for iOS developers building hybrid apps, embedded browsers, or in-app web experiences who want deeper visibility into what their web content is doing at runtime.
