Simulate touch on iphone


Im trying to simulate a touch on as UIWebView, how can I programmatically fire a touch event at a certain location? (x and y coordinates) Just call touchesBegan?

Ideally I'd like to do it without any javascript hack because in the future it may not be a uiwebview


Solution

  • It's not easy to synthesize a touch event on the iPhone: you have to use undisclosed API, so you have a high probability of breaking on every update of the iOS and getting rejecting from Apple.

    Here's a link that demonstrates how to synthesize a touch event on the iPhone:

    Here's another question on StackOverflow: How to send a touch event to iPhone OS?
