Description Eugene But 2016-02-18 10:54:16 PST 
Add API to allow Web Inspector usage (remote Safari debugging) with release builds of WKWebView. Currently there is no way to debug Chrome for iOS app using remote Safari debugger. While remote debugging is not necessary for most WKWebView apps, it is really useful for the browsers.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Web Inspector (Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Web Inspector) in iOS device
2. Connect iOS device to Mac
3. Launch Chrome for iOS and load a web page
4. Launch Safari on Mac
5. Enable "Develop" menu (Settings -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu...) on Mac
6. Click Menu -> Develop -> <Name of iOS Device>

Expected Results:
WKWebView should have API to enable remote Safari debugger.

Actual Results:
Currently this is no way to debug Chrome for iOS using remote Safari debugger.
