System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It solves the hard problem of inspecting and debugging Android WebView (and related) issues when you need Chrome DevTools functionality but the target is running on-device.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rooted WebView debugging: Automatically discovers and connects to WebView devtools sockets (e.g., webview_devtools_remote_<pid>) to inspect multiple running WebView instances.
  • Remote debugging without root: Uses ADB localabstract forwarding to expose the device’s devtools socket over TCP so FoldDevtools can connect.
  • Stetho/StethoX support: For apps instrumented with Stetho, forwards the Stetho devtools socket and debugs via the same workflow.
  • XPosed module (force-enable WebView debugging): Enables WebView debugging for other apps without changing their code when the module is installed and configured.

Quick Start

Use FoldDevtools and connect in remote mode to your forwarded debug endpoint (127.0.0.1:9222) to inspect the target WebView in Chrome DevTools.
