Installing Angular DevTools in Safari (experimental)

Requirements

  • Xcode 13+

To install Angular DevTools in Safari follow the steps:

  • Open Safari and make sure the checkbox in Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Show develop menu in menu bar is checked.

  • Make sure the flag in Develop -> Experimental Features -> Web Inspector Extensions is checked.

  • Build Angular DevTools with a chrome configuration with yarn devtools:build:chrome this will create an Angular DevTools build in dist/bin/devtools/projects/shell-browser/src/prodapp.

  • Run xcrun safari-web-extension-converter --macos-only dist/bin/devtools/projects/shell-browser/src/prodapp. This will convert Angular DevTools into a Safari web extension. This command should open Xcode when it completes.

  • In Xcode, click the build button and wait for the extension to build. Once this is complete, a system prompt should ask you to open Safari and enable the extension. You'll know the extension is enabled because of an Angular icon present in browser toolbar.

  • Open any Angular application in dev mode and open Safari DevTools, you should see the Angular Tab there.
