I'm doing a research for my thesis and I would like to know how I can access to the views methods or functions of the user interface(like Android View Client for Android devices) of a ios device from bash without touching the device connected. The reason is that I want to create a self-test for an app and then I would do things like touches or gestures via software. How could i do? Can you give me some guidelines? must work for devices without jailbreak Sorry for the bad english.

        This is not practical / possible. Instead, you should look into UIAutomation. You can use javascript to simulate all interactions with an app on either actual hardware or in the simulator.

                    Yes, you can run the javascript UIAutomation script from the command line if you like. You can find more information [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4191945/can-the-ui-automation-instrument-be-run-from-the-command-line). – drewag Apr 01 '14 at 15:02
