Blazor Hybrid Mac Catalyst Dev Tools not Supported

[TanayParikh]

It's not possible to open the dev tools menu for mac catalyst applications running Blazor Hybrid (WKWebView).

Others are reporting this issue too: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/416277/how-to-inspect-safari-web-inspector-aka-devtools-on-devtools

Dev Resources:

Tried adding entitlements:

	<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
	<true/>
	<key>com.apple.webinspector.allow</key>
	<true/>

Trying to open dev tools (Web Inspector) via:

• OPTION+CMD+I
• Safari -> Develop menu
• Right click -> inspect

I've confirmed the AddBlazorDevTools is appropriately configured

We've moved this issue to the Future milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the issue following the current release and consider this item at that time.

Issue has been acknowledged by Apple, however the workaround proposed requires debugging with XCode, which isn't feasible with MAUI (as far as I know).

Add entitlement com.apple.security.get-task-allow = YES, see #7706 (comment)

Thanks @zengxs, fix has been confirmed. We'll discuss how we want to surface this for users.
