Description
Can't debug app via Chrome.
Create a new app with
npx nx g @nativescript/nx:app test --groupByName
run:
npx nx run test-nativescript:ios
App starts in iOS emulator -works fine
Try to connect from Chrome via:
devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?ws=localhost:41000
App then crashes and Chrome says "Debugging connection was closed"
Terminal shows:
Backend socket closed!
Frontend socket closed!
Using
"webpack": "^5.40.0" (also latest tried 5.43.0)
"@nativescript/webpack": "5.0.0"

Reproduce the issue with npx nx g @nativescript/nx:app test --groupByName, npx nx run test-nativescript:ios, and the provided Chrome DevTools URL, using the reported webpack versions. Trace the debugging connection after the app starts and compare the app crash with the Backend socket closed! and Frontend socket closed! messages; done means Chrome remains connected and the iOS app does not crash.
