New browser tabs are not being detected in Safari browser for iOS 17.4 and above

New browser tabs are not being detected in Safari browser for iOS 17.4 and above

Version details

Device	iPhone 15 Plus v17.5
ios-webkit-debug-proxy version	v1.9.1

Screen recording to demonstrate the problem

IDWP.issue.on.17.4.mov

Steps

1. Connected my iPhone to Mac
2. Ran ios_webkit_debug_proxy command
3. Hit this command: curl localhost:9222/json
   a. Got empty data, which is expected since Safari was not open
4. Launched Safari browser and opened apple.com
5. Hit this command: curl localhost:9222/json
   a. Got apple.com details as JSON response ( all good till here )
6. Opened a new tab in Safari browser, and opened google.com
7. Hit this command: curl localhost:9222/json
   a. Got tab details only for apple.com and not google.com
   b. This seems like a bug, where new tabs are not being detected at all
8. Closed the first tab, where apple.com was opened
9. Hit this command: curl localhost:9222/json
   a. Expected this to return tab details of google.com
   b. This also seems like a bug, where we start getting empty data, irrespective of how many tabs & urls are open

Edit

Performed the same steps, but ran IWDP with -d flag to fetch logs

hi @mayank2498 thanks for the detailed report! could you please share logs if you run same step, but start iwdp tool with the -d flag?

This might be caused by the RemoteXPC changes in iOS 17. There seems to be a broader ecosystem issue at the moment, appium/appium-ios-device#123
