Can’t debug VS Code extensions on iPadOS PWA

See original GitHub issue

VS Code Version: Codespaces
OS Version: iPadOS 14.4

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a VS Code extension on Codespaces
Build the extension
Open the Debug panel and click the Start/Play button
The debugging starts and you see the debug toolbar, but no [Development …] window/tab appears.

Tested opening Codespaces directly from Safari browser and via PWA (Add to Home Screen). Same issue.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Originally reported in #107386, which was closed as fixed, even tho I didn’t have success verifying myself back then. So, I suppose it’s probably a regression in recent releases.

Thank you

@alefragnani thanks for feedback. This is basically us fighting against Safari and their blocking behaviour. I am assigning to August so I give this a try on my iPad and then I can let you know if we can improve something here. I have to check the PWA experience.

@connor4312 @roblourens are the new owners of the debug side of things. I just got assigned because it’s iPad related.
