No XPC/HTTP connections necessary.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The WKWebView API allows toggling WebCore's Settings via the WKPreferences interface (available on WKWebViewConfiguration). Nothing currently exists for the developer extras setting. It should be easy to add plumbing for a new setting to toggle the Developer Extras Enabled setting at least as a private API.</div>
