This looks fantastic. Does anyone know if there is a similar tool for Android?

Remote debugging ( Chrome for Android ) has been around for a while : https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/debugging
That's for webapps, not native applications, is it not?

The point of TFA seems to be that it's using the webkit developer tools to inspect and debug native cocoa applications, not web applications.

Also, ADB runs over network easily as of ICS using the option in 'Developer options' in the system setting.
Hmmm..For some reason, I cannot seem to find any setting in "Developer Options" on my Jelly Bean based device. Can you tell me what it is called?
Thank you. Somehow, I did not know about this.

Edit: This seems to only be for web apps, not native apps. Or am I missing something?

It is certainly possible to write one. All the back-end stuff can be reused.
