Run Custom Script

Playing recorded scripts is great, but it is unlikely to respond to all the possible situations that can occur in a real-world scenario. For this reason, it is important to create a script that can handle different situations.

Now we’ve written a script for you that will help you get started. This script will open the “Settings”, scroll down to find “App Store” option, and click on it.

local function tapWord(word)
  local txts, details = screen.ocr_text {}
  local tapped = false
  for i, v in ipairs(txts) do
    if v == word then
      touch.tap(details[i].center[1], details[i].center[2])
      tapped = true
    end
  end
  return tapped
end

nLog("Open “Settings”…")
app.run("com.apple.Preferences")
sys.sleep(2)

nLog("Test gestures…")
while not tapWord("App Store") do
  touch.on(375, 1100)
    :move(375, 275)
    :step_delay(20)
    :step_len(1)
    :move(375, 255)
    :off()
  sys.sleep(1)
end
