Shake Simulation

[santiagogarzon]

I want to simulate the bugs report and it's always by shaking the device

• shake
  could be a great command

[omid-ebrahimi]

That would be a great feature if we can open dev settings (ex: by simulation of shaking the device) and then we would be able to tap on something in the Dev Setting menu.

+1 to this one, or allowing us to run adb commands to trigger a shake event

If someone is able to elaborate on the adb commands required to simulate a shake, I'd love to be able to tag this as a Good First Issue for potential contributors.

There seems to be a couple of potential solutions here :

I am unsure what would be the equivalent for ios though

[Fishbowler]

Looks like iOS might not have an equivalent.

Appium couldn't find one: https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/df3e7f75260fb0085b8199256331311d71c50bac/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md?plain=1#L16

A first pass on adding the shake command in #2259
