iphonedebug: iPhone JavaScript debug console

The iPhone Debug Consle is meant to give greater visibility and interactivity on your iPhone/iPod Touch while doing development. Jon Brisbin, the project ower say:

“I grew frustrated having to go through the ‘include console.log statement then reload’ method of debugging. I wanted something similar to Firebug’s fantastic console and debugger.

In trying to find something that would fit my needs, I came across Joe Hewitt’s iPhone/Firebug integration, but I wanted something more robust and that worked without firebug and requiring “console.log” in the desktop browser. Since the COMET support in Jetty is quite good, and given that I’m a Java programmer, not a Python one, I decided to just write my own and offer it up to the community. I think it will be helpful to those getting very frustrated with debugging your Ajax apps on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

You can find download and install tutorial at iphonedebug’s project home.
