All debuggable targets are listed under chrome://inspect/. See the 'Apps' tab.

I managed to do it by following instructions to debug postman chrome app:

Then go to your app, right-click anywhere inside of it, and click on the option menu inspect.

To open it by context menu, enable at chrome://flags/#debug-packed-apps

If the app blocks the context menu, find it at chrome://extensions (developer mode) or the Apps and Extensions Developer Tool.
