Summary:

Have recently begun using instruments + UIAutomation to perform functional testing of an iOS app.  Given the complexity of the app, it would be FANTASTIC if I could specify a file of UIAutomation javascript that could be performed as a "post-run" action that would programmatically walk through the UI, setting up the app-condition needed for the current development task.

That is, the UIAutomation script could define the setup condition necessary to facilitate development in a specific area of an app.  This would simplify the tedium of tapping through multiple views, text entry, etc before having the app configured for the next debug session.

Steps to Reproduce:

Write UIAutomation javascript file to define the pre-conditions needed for the current development task, attempt to trigger that javascript to run as a post-run action in the Xcode Run scheme

Expected Results:

After running the app via Xcode, the javascript is executed bringing the app to the pre-condition specified and the developer may then enable breakpoints interact with the simulator/device and step through the code manually.

Actual Results:

Not possible

Regression:
