• Inside the path ~/cordova-plugin-tapticengine/test/TapticEngineApplication there's the XCode iOS test application, just open it, build it, connect your device and deploy it in.
• When test application opens TapticEngine (object) will be created.
• Cordova core brings to JavaScript the object in question exposing private API of UITapticEngine Class.
• By pressing the touchscreen, if your device is supported, you should feed TapticEngine vibration performed under your finger.
