After updating to the latest Xcode Version 14.3. Ionic 6 applications running on simulator with iOS 16.4 cannot be debugged in safari web inspector.
In other words, Safari 16.1 is showing under Develop -> Simulator Name -> No Inspectable Applications
Tested the application to run under Cordova platform iOS 6.2.0 and 6.3.0 by running
ionic cordova emulate ios --target "TARGET_SIMULATOR_ID" --livereload -lc
In order to debug, you need to have Safari Technology Preview instead. Regular Safari does not work.

After looking into this more, it seems the problem has been fixed on cordova-ios, however ionic uses it's own webkit.
So the fix would have to be applied to Ionic's plugin: https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
I found there is already a pull request on that plugin with the fix: https://github.com/ionic-team/cordova-plugin-ionic-webview/pull/677
I was able to get the inspect working for me locally by forking the master branch, applying the changes then updating my package.json like so:
"cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": "github:< YourGithubUsername>/cordova-plugin-ionic-webview"
