System-wide tap simulation on iOS - iphone

Question

I would like to achieve system-wide tap simulation on iOS, via a MobileSubstrate plugin. The idea is to be able to simulate touches (in a first time single touch, then multitouch) on a system-wide level, in iOS 5.1.1 .
I've been successful in implementing this article to simulate touches on a specific view, I now would like to be able to simulate them system-wide.
I understand I should use the private MobileServices framework to do so, and I've documented myself on GSEvent (I've also looked at Veency & MouseSupport sourcecodes).
I tried to hook up a view to intercept UIEvents and look at the underlying structure :
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
GSEventRef eventRef = (GSEventRef)[event performSelector:#selector( _gsEvent)];
GSEventRecord record = *_GSEventGetGSEventRecord(eventRef);
< breakpoint here to look at record >
}
and the result is extremely similar to the old (iOS 3) structure detailled above.
I then tried to fire up those events myself (on a Standalone app, not a MS tweak for now) :
+(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);
}
Now, that doesn't work at all (doesn't crash either).
Most codes (MouseSupport, Veency) look like this
// Create & populate a GSEvent
struct {
struct GSEventRecord record;
struct {
struct GSEventRecordInfo info;
struct GSPathInfo path;
} data;
} event;
memset(&event, 0, sizeof(event));
event.record.type = kGSEventHand;
event.record.windowLocation = point;
event.record.timestamp = GSCurrentEventTimestamp();
event.record.infoSize = sizeof(event.data);
event.data.info.handInfo.type = kGSHandInfoTypeTouchDown;
event.data.info.handInfo._0x44 = 0x1;
event.data.info.handInfo._0x48 = 0x1;
event.data.info.pathPositions = 1;
event.data.path.pathIndex = 0x01;
event.data.path.pathIdentity = 0x02;
event.data.path.pathProximity = 0x00;
event.data.path.pathLocation = event.record.windowLocation;
GSSendSystemEvent(&event.record);
Only :
GSEventRecordInfo is unknown (and I can't find where it might be defined)
I don't see the point of making a whole event to only pass the record
Please someone who's been through this on iOS 5 guide me.

Answer 1

GSEventRecordInfo may have been introduced since iOS 3.2 (that's where the Graphics Services headers you linked to are from). class-dump the framework that's actually on your device on iOS 5.1.1 and see if it's defined there?
