title: AppleScript scrape iOS simulator
body: <p>I want to scrape the screen of the iOS Simulator on OSX. I want to be able to take the text of the UI screen that I load up in iOS Simulator and output it to a text file where I can further manipulate the text. Is this possible? have any of you tried something similar before?  I would like to do this in AppleScript.</p>
  
  <p>The reason for the AppleScript choice is my team have a lot of their automation tasks scripted in AppleScript already and I should be able to take advantage of this to recycle some of it. That and the fact that I don’t have any Objective-C experience which looks a lot different to OO languages I have seen and I do not have the time to learn. This tool needs to be up and running in the next 2 weeks. </p>
  
  <p>So is this possible?<br>
  Any help\pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.</p>
