            Bug ID: 178197
           Summary: Enable debugger as public API for macOS
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: dasau at microsoft.com

This bug is to move [WKPreferences _setDeveloperExtrasEnabled:] to a public header, or add some other property to allow debugging web content in released apps.

We use WKWebView to host third party content, exposing API to developers that extend the host application in macOS. Because [WKPreferences _setDeveloperExtrasEnabled:] is a private API, there is no way for developers to debug their sites in our environment. They cannot just debug their page in another browser such as Safari, as the JavaScript API their page consumes are only available to them in our browser. Our app is in the store, so we cannot use this private API that works well. We also don't want this debugging feature to break on new releases of the OS.
