3. Click on Switches.
4. Click on Add New Switch, and select Screen as the source.
5.In Actions assign the switch an action from the list. Since you are only using the screen, choose the “Select Item” action.
7. Before you turn on Switch control, make sure you have the Switch Control accessibility shortcut on. This shortcut will let you turn on and off Switch Control with a triple-click of the Home button. Go to settings > General > Accessibility. Scroll all the way down and click on Accessibility Shortcut. Select Switch Control.
8. Go back to Switch Control, and activate Switch Control by clicking on the on/off control. At this point, you should be able to control the iOS device with Switch Control using the screen.
