Software touch on an iOS device?

Question

Objective-C

I really hope to get a recipe or a hint. There is a task on iPhone, iOS 6.1.3 (jailbreak). Make a software system touch. As far as I understood, earlier this was done through the Private API, the GraphicsServices framework, something like this:

+(void)simulateTouchDown:(CGPoint)point{

    point.x = roundf(point.x);
    point.y = roundf(point.y);

    GSEventRecord record;
    memset(&record, 0, sizeof(record));

    record.type = kGSEventHand;
    record.windowLocation = point;
    record.timestamp = GSCurrentEventTimestamp();

    GSSendSystemEvent(&record);

}

But, there is no reaction from the device. Other ways used structures that no longer exist.
Has anyone done similar tasks? Maybe there is another way to make this touch?

Answer 1

Yes, your way worked, of course. But perhaps there is an option to use such a method?

[self.buttonCalibrate sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

But if a touch is needed, then at the moment it is difficult to find any other way.

Answer 2

In iOS 6, GraphicsServices works without jail, but there is a lot of shamanism. Carefully analyze all the topics on stack overflow, I can’t help specifically now, unfortunately.
