This is a new issue i've also had, we have to hope that Apple fixes it soon.

For now you can use this workaround

• in your AppDelegate.swift
• inside the func application
• put:

#if DEBUG
      if #available(macOS 13.3, iOS 16.4, tvOS 16.4, *) {
            DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5.0) {
                  if let vc = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController {
                        vc.bridge?.webView?.isInspectable = true;
                  }
            }
      }
#endif

For some reason when you delay the isInspectable you will be able to debug again! (it takes a wile to show up because of the delay)
