I'm thinking of a way to include a demo of how my iPhone app works along with the app. I need to demonstrate how one of my on-screen GMGridView controls works.

Is it possible to record or programmatically create a set of long press, touches moved, touches ended events and then invoke them on the interface?

I would suggest this:

  1. Add a visual tap effect when you press the screen Record yourself
  2. using the App on the simulator using a screen capture Add in a video
  3. player at the tutorial screen that shows how to use the app

Or create a UIView animation doing the above steps if you rather not add a video player.
