Help needed. automation but not for app

[maheshneet]

Hi folks,

I am trying to automate some activities on iphone and ipad which are not related to any application. I know this sounds weird as all info that is available on automation is on testing apps. In my case I am trying to automate a few things like going into the settings screen and connecting to a wifi network , verifying its connected and then going into the vpn and connecting etc. So as you can see nothing to do with any apps. Please can someone let me know whats the best way to achieve this it will be very helpful. I came across instruments UI automation tool but I dont see a way to do these from that tool as it connects to an app and we need to select that app.

Thanks
