Package bundling WebDriverAgent

# WebDriverAgent [![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD-lightgrey.svg)](LICENSE) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/facebook/WebDriverAgent.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/facebook/WebDriverAgent) [![Carthage compatible](https://img.shields.io/badge/Carthage-compatible-4BC51D.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)

WebDriverAgent is a [WebDriver server](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) implementation for iOS that can be used to remote control iOS devices. It allows you to launch & kill applications, tap & scroll views or confirm view presence on a screen. This makes it a perfect tool for application end-to-end testing or general purpose device automation. It works by linking `XCTest.framework` and calling Apple's API to execute commands directly on a device. WebDriverAgent is developed and used at Facebook for end-to-end testing and is successfully adopted by [Appium](http://appium.io).

## Features

## Getting Started
To get the project set up just run bootstrap script:
```
./Scripts/bootstrap.sh
```
It will:
* fetch all dependencies with [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)
* build Inspector bundle using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com)

After it is finished you can simply open `WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj` and start `WebDriverAgentRunner` test
and start sending [requests](https://github.com/facebook/WebDriverAgent/wiki/Queries).
