UI automation of an iphone app

Question

I need to automate the UI testing of an iPhone application, i.e. if in my iPhone application I have two text fields corresponding to username and password the tests should automatically fill in the values and press the submit button, but as I am a newbie in the field of iPhone programming I am not aware of the processes and procedures that are needed to automate this testing.

Can anyone please suggest a complete procedure of how to mitigate this problem or point me to some link where I can find some relevant information concerning the problem?
I just need to automate the scenario described above i.e. filling in the details in the two text fields and pressing a submit button automatically.

If this is a Web Application on iOS I can suggest Selenium WebDriver utilising the iPhoneDriver. If not, this SO post might help.
