Target elements by #id when they have one, else by their quoted label, else @x,y. When an alert or sheet is in front (iOS permission prompts too), ui_look lists only it: answer it with ui_act first. Web views, maps and games have nothing to read: use ui_look with screenshot, then tap @x,y. Coordinates are points, the same as in the screenshot. Any screen without tapping through: app_control launch with value \"-Key value\" (launch arguments, read as UserDefaults), then ui_look; its screenshot waits for the screen to hold still.
