For iOS:

• Run ios https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/running-on-mobile
• When your application is launched in iOS Simulator, launch safari.
• Select the "Develop" menu
• Select "iOS Simulator"

You can now inspect element just like you're used to doing it.

For android follow the instructions here - https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

Answer 3

You can do such things with ios simulator and Android Eclipse for example.

Once you have a device running, you can access the console, DOM inspector etc.

EG with ios simulator - this will open up dev tools:

1) In the simulator, visit a web address in safari.

1) In regular Safari, go to preferences > advanced.

2) In regular Safari preferences, go to Develop > iPhone simulator > yourWebpage
