idb interact Commands are not working in real devices

[tademmahesh]

Description idb interact Commands are not working, like "SWIPE, TAP, and PRESS A BUTTON".

Target doesn't conform to FBSimulatorLifecycleCommands protocol ******************************** | Iphone 6 | Booted | iPhone 6 | OS 'iOS 12.5.7' | arm64

This issue was reported in SEP 2019, but still, we are not able to use these (open, tap, swipe, etc) features of idb due to iOS restrictions. So, how can we say that idb can be an alternative to WDA? Can I expect, in the near future iOS to allow it or we may found some other way to do so?

Reproduction idb ui tap --udid xxxxxxxxxxxx 200 200 OR idb ui swipe --udid xxxxxxxxxxxx 0 0 200 200

I think they are not supporting the real device for ui command. Check here https://github.com/facebook/idb/issues/551

Same question, and I don't see the solution to this in the near future.
