Puppeteer/Chrome Dev Tools Protocol: How to manipulate Android Chrome or WebViews
Raw
puppeteer_chromedevtools_android.md

First of all, get prepared by installing the Android SDK and SDK tools in order to get the adb executable. Then:

  1. adb connect <device ip>

  2. To get the service name `adb shell "cat /proc/net/unix | grep devtools_remote", which will give you something like this output:

00000000: 00000002 00000000 00010000 0001 01 423897 @webview_devtools_remote_18279

  1. Now we need to make a port forwarding between the open socket on the android device and your local machine: adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:webview_devtools_remote_18279 (assuming that webview_devtools_remote_18279 was returned by the command on step 2.

  2. To make sure it worked, just open http://localhost:9222 in your browser, and you should see something like this

  1. Now you can curl the JSON endpoint to get the so much desired webSocketDebuggerUrl: curl localhost:9222/json or curl localhost:9222/json/version (varies depending on the Chrome/Chromium version)
