This is awesome. I'm glad to see Apple breaking their rules to enable this functionality.

Inter-app communication is a hard thing to fit into the iOS security model, but I hope this small and controlled incursion is the beginning of something Apple has been working on for a long time.

This app looks great too. Repetitive manual testing in the simulator is not my favorite part of the day.

If you are currently "manually testing in the simulator," don't forget that there are existing automated solutions for UI testing in iOS, including KIF (mentioned above) and Apple's own UIAutomation.

I've actually written a small framework for UIAutomation to make it less cumbersome, if that's a factor in adopting UIAutomation: http://www.github.com/jaykz52/mechanic
