Are you running ios webkit debug proxy server?

[AmarnathRayudu]

Hi @RaviK,

Please install and run ios_webkit_debug_proxy (if you have not done yet), you shoud see something like this : Listing devices on :9221
Connected :9222 to YOURDEVICENAME(UDID).

It is recommended to run ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js if the debugger crashes in between.
Please let me know if you still face the issues or need more info.

THANKS,
Amarnath Rayudu
