iOS UI Testing: simulate press on Software Keyboard

Hi all,

I already know that to write some text on a UITextField or UITextView there's the typeText method

but in this way I can't test some features, e.g. if I write:

textView.typeText("a")

The text won't get auto-capitalized by the system, no matter what autcapitalizationType value I set on the corresponding UITextView.

So, is there a way to automate the directly press buttons on the Software Keyboard?

I added a question on stackoverflow too, currently with no luck:

Many thanks
