I thought that didn't work on the actual device, which frequently is different enough from the simulator that Catalyst could still be extremely useful.

That won't compile under ARC unless you declare +_enableRemoteInspector somewhere:

    objc_msgSend(NSClassFromString(@"UIWebView"), @selector(_enableRemoteInspector));

That's fine if you have yourself setup for native development. We're about helping web developers who don't want to do that.
