[webkit-help] need help - run-webkit-app doesn't work for me

[Sitao Yang]

Hi Ryosuke,

Thank you for your response. 

I followed your instructions and checked my WebKit app in Activity Monitor, it showed it’s still using the system’s WebKit framework instead of my local one.

Also, I’m running on macOS Sierra (16A323). So the mentioned issue with El Capitan shouldn’t matter to me. I’d have made it clear in my initial email. 

Thanks,
—Sitao
