Is it possible to remote debug Chrome on iOS?

Question

I am able to successfully debug Safari on iOS 8.4 using Google's ios-webkit-debug-proxy. But it never sees my Chrome tabs on the iPad. I've also tried using the desktop Chrome browser at chrome://inspect but that also doesn't show it.

Is it possible to remote debug Chrome on iOS? Or is this not possible?

I don't believe so. You could, however, use firebug bookmarklets to get the developer console — Allison, Oct 15 '15 at 21:11
@Sirens What is "firebug bookmarklets"? Is that an extension for Chrome on iOS? — Don Rhummy, Oct 15 '15 at 21:19
Do this http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/02/run-firebug-on-ipad-or-iphone/ just in chrome — Allison, Oct 15 '15 at 22:36
What "doesn't work"? I use the exact same thing on my iPad. Why do you need chrome for the iPad anyways? It uses a UIWebView anyways — Allison, Oct 17 '15 at 03:12
@Sirens it shows the console but that disappears every time i refresh so it missed all the errors. And I need it because i have to support all the browsers the client wants to use. not my choice — Don Rhummy, Oct 17 '15 at 05:15

I use Vorlon. http://vorlonjs.com/ It is a free open source project from MS and uses websockets to connect to the remote device. Not as good as full chrome dev tools but you can inspect/edit the dom, view console logs etc.
