[Problem/Bug]: Unable to connect to the WebView2 devTools on Xbox

[kubakista]

What happened?

Hello,

We are having issues accessing WebView2 DevTools on Xbox.

The environment variable is set correctly:

WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS
--enable-features=msEdgeDevToolsWdpRemoteDebugging

This works correctly on Xbox OS version 10.0.26100.7018, there seems to be Edge 143.

I can confirm that on Xbox OS versions 10.0.26100.7812 and 10.0.26100.7815 (Edge 145), we are no longer able to access DevTools for the opened app.

More specifically, the msedge endpoint returns an empty array.

Does WebView2 require perhaps different "configuration" from now on (or so) or is it a bug?

Thank you,
Jakub
