Fix the errcheck lint failures.
The lint check fails on these unchecked type assertions. Use the two-value form and fail the test when the assertion fails. At line 140, return early if the assertion fails.
Example
- expression := inspector.onlyCallOf("Runtime.evaluate").Params["expression"].(string)
+ expression, ok := inspector.onlyCallOf("Runtime.evaluate").Params["expression"].(string)
+ if !ok {
+ t.Fatalf("expression is not a string")

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Make each poll respect the remaining wait budget.
Each poll calls s.evaluate with s.timeout(), which is 30s by default. The overall deadline is checked only after a poll returns. A tab that is mid-navigation and does not answer blocks a poll for the full 30s. Two problems follow:
- A caller that passes
timeoutMs=1000can wait about 30s before it sees the timeout error. - The
ios_device_webview.goagent path keeps its existing timeout handling, so the Safari path does not match it.
Cap each poll at the remaining time, and check the deadline before the next poll.
Proposed fix
for {
- loaded, err := s.evaluate(webviewID, hasLoaded, nil, s.timeout())
+ remaining := time.Until(deadline)
+ if remaining <= 0 {
+ return fmt.Errorf("waitForLoadState timed out waiting for '%s'", state)
+ }
+ pollTimeout := s.timeout()
+ if remaining < pollTimeout {
+ pollTimeout = remaining
+ }
+ loaded, err := s.evaluate(webviewID, hasLoaded, nil, pollTimeout)📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Summary
mobilecli webviewon iOS injects an agent into the foreground app, which Safari cannot take. With Safari in the foreground the commands now drive its tabs through the Web Inspector service, the one Safari on a Mac connects to. This works on real devices and on simulators:Changes
devices/ios_webinspector.go(new): a client for the Web Inspector service that implementsWebViewablefor the tabs of Safari.com.apple.webinspector, reached with go-iosConnectToServiceover usbmuxd (no tunnel, no iproxy, no injected agent).RWI_LISTEN_SOCKET. Same protocol.list: the web pages Safari reports; the id is the inspector's page ideval:Runtime.evaluatethenRuntime.awaitPromise, since WebKit cannot await while evaluating. The expression runs as a function body called with the args, as the agent doesreload:Page.reloadgoto,back,forward: WebKit has noPage.navigate, so the page is told to navigate itself (location.href,history.back(),history.forward()); the url travels as an argument, not as sourcewait: pollsdocument.readyState, same states and timeout as the agenturl,title,content,queryare built onevaldevices/ios_device_webview.go,devices/ios_webview.go: each webview command first asks DeviceKit for the foreground app; when it iscom.apple.mobilesafarithe command goes to the web inspector, otherwise to the injected agent as before.cli/webview.go,README.md,docs/openrpc.*: document it.One connection per device, kept open
The web inspector answers a connection that stays open within milliseconds, but stalls the next connection after one was closed on it: about 10 seconds on the iPhone, and on the simulator sometimes with no answer at all. So the daemon keeps one connection per device, shares it between commands and between the tabs a command talks to, and connects again only when it was lost.
Background tabs fail fast
Safari does not keep the tabs it is not showing running, and such a tab accepts a command without ever answering it. Nothing in what the inspector reports tells such a tab apart (the listing and the target info are the same), so every command first asks the tab for a sign of life (
Runtime.evaluateof1, which a running tab answers in milliseconds):listasks every tab fordocument.visibilityStateat once, capped at 1 second, so it takes about 1.3 seconds with background tabs open however many there are.Requirements and limitations
