Support Safari web inspector debugging for Edge on iOS (and iPadOS)
In https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/edge-developer/issues/559 the team said
Currently, we do not support iOS remote debugging. This is ultimately due to some nuances with how our Microsoft Edge mobile apps are built. On iOS, as I understand it, the Microsoft Edge app uses WKWebView which basically means that the underlying web platform that is rendering HTML/CSS/JavaScript is WebKit.
From a chrome developer blog it seems as of iOS 16.4, there is support for remote web inspector debugging from WKWebView now
Now that WKWebView allows Web Inspector debugging in release (as of iOS 16.4), we have added a setting in Chrome 115 to enable this feature and further improve the developer experience.
Can the edge mobile team please allow this feature for edge mobile on iOS/iPadOS?

Thank you for filing this feature request, and apologies for the delay answering. I'll bring this up to the team for consideration/prioritization.
Been trying to track down some subtle issues with Entra App Proxy and iOS Edge where this would be super helpful. Hopefully since Chromium has had it for a bit it wouldn't be tough to expose the webView.isInspectable = true in the Edge instances of WKWebView sooner rather than later.
The good news is that if your issue exists in Edge iOS it also will exist in Chrome iOS, so you can debug with Chrome
