web inspector for ios 8 mobile safari no longer works

I just upgraded my iPhone 5c to iOS 8 and now my Mavericks (10.9.4) Safari Web Inspector (7.0.6) no longer connects to the Mobile Safari. Weirdly enough when I save the web site to my home screen it works (navigator.standalone = true), but not if the web site runs in the regular Mobile Safari browser.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Hi,


it seems that the new remote inspector is made to be used with Yosemite only. It's still possible to use it with Mavericks though, you just need to download a nightly webkit build (http://nightly.webkit.org) and launch it. You'll then see your inspectable applications back in the Develop menu.
