IPhone – Possible to use Applescript or Automator to authenticate iPhone 5s with the Macbook Pro without entering lockcode on iPhone

I'm answering the original question in the title in case people are searching for it and navigate to this page.

• You don't need to put shift down in curly braces, unless it's a comma separated list.
• If the "tab" in parenthesis doesn't work, try the key code.
• For each key press, try telling System events to do so without end tell.

Depending on your application, you need to specify which application you are telling to do the commands, and other parameters such as the window.

For example, in Safari, with the suggestions above:

tell application "Safari"
    tell front window
       tell application "System Events" to key code 48 using shift down
    end tell
end tell

I don't have an exact answer to your problem but you could perhaps consider a normal applescript that sends the COPY command and checks the contents of the clipboard before and after. Like this...

# For testing only; Delay so we can switch to the app with text
delay 2

# Clear the clipboard so we have a clean state
set the clipboard to ""


    tell application "System Events"

    # Send the 'Copy' command
    keystroke "c" using command down
    delay 0.2

    # Grub the clipboard contents
    set the_sel to the clipboard

    # Is it empty? We either failed or no selection present
    if the_sel is equal to "" then
        display dialog "No Text selected"
    else
        display dialog "Text was: " & the_sel
    end if
end tell
