How to use idb

[man4567890]

Description

Not sure how to use idb, not a lot of information available, I'm trying to open an application
$ idb launch --udid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx com.apple.Maps
Application Bundle Name: Maps | ID: com.apple.Maps | Install Type system | Container (null) cannot be launched as it's not signed with a development identity
Works if I do WDA runner compiled with xcode
$ idb launch --udid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx com.apple.test.WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner

Another error is this one
$ idb connect localhost 8999
udid: xxxxxxxxxxxxx is_local: False
$ idb ui tap 10 20
Target doesn't conform to FBSimulatorLifecycleCommands protocol xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | 12.4 iPhone | Booted | iPhone 5s | iOS 12.4.1 | arm64 | 0 | 0

In my understanding, idb only launches apps signed with Developer certificates. So launching maps, safari etc., might not work.
