The remote debugging workflow depends on Android's USB Debugging feature. I have connected with Kayce Basques - one of the authors of the Google remote debugging tutorial and he confirmed that there is currently no official way to arrange wireless debugging. I have been looking in this problem for the last days and here is what I have found out: How can I debug Nexus 5X Android 6.0.1 Chrome app (.133) to my desktop Chrome app (.116 (64-bit)) running on Mac OSX El Capitan? Both devices are on the same network, under the same Google account.

This means that I need to do connect/disconnect procedure every time I need to debug a website, what does not seem very convenient. Same link suggests that first I need to connect my device via USB to use it afterwards on without the USB and then configure the port forwarding. I am able to access web apps running on my localhost Apache web server (device ip address:port number), but I cannot see what's exactly happening on the device screen if something is broken.

The main idea is that I do not need to debug native Android apps so all the suggested steps with adb would not make any sense. I know that this is possible via port forwarding feature Google Chrome dev-tools has. I need to debug a website in Chrome on Android device - Nexus 5X - and see what is exactly happening with a page on Chrome on my Mac without USB cable connection. Both of the mentioned above cables seem to be quite expensive, and I don't want to buy another cable for the newly purchased phone. Nexus 5X has USB-C to USB-C cable out-of-the-box which is obviously not compatible with USB-A without any addition equipment (USB-C to USB-A cable).
