Im writing an app running in background on a jailbreak iphone. I need to send touch event to iPhone OS to simulate finger touches. Is this possible?

See Matt Gallagher's article "Synthesizing a touch event on the iPhone". You may also check out the Three20 framework, which I believe used synthesized touch events to test UI elements (leading to a rash of recent application rejections due to the use of private APIs).

thanks, Brad. In Matt Gallagher's article, synthesized touch event only works to views. I'm still looking for some way to simulate system level touch event.

@xiaoma imagine you could send system-wide events like that without user interaction - wouldnt that introduce a huge risk of ppl using it to do things that the user does not want (e.g. call a dubious hotline while he is asleep)

hi, Brad. What i want to do is something like Veency except that it can accept multitouch input. Imagine that i can control iphone using my macbook multitouch trackpad.

Hi xiaoma, have you figured out how to do this? I'd like to do something similar.
