mobile:installCertificate broken on iOS 12.2 (but fixable)

The problem

iOS 12.2 changed the alerts and UI for installing downloaded certificates. After downloading, now you need to dismiss an alert and open Settings > General > Profile, and install the profile. Then the step of going into Security and trusting the certificate.

We’ll have to automate the settings app differently if ios version >= 12.2

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.12.1
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): unrelated, it’s iOS version
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: MacOS 10.14.4
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 11.6.0
• Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
• Mobile platform/version under test: ios
• Real device or emulator/simulator: sim
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: cli

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

String IOS_APP = "https://github.com/cloudgrey-io/the-app/releases/download/v1.6.1/TheApp-v1.6.1.app.zip";

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
        caps.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
        caps.setCapability("platformVersion", "12.2");
        caps.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone Xs");
        caps.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
        caps.setCapability("app", IOS_APP);

        driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), caps);

        Path certificatePath = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.home"), ".mitmproxy", "mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem");
        Map<String, Object> args = new HashMap<>();
        byte[] byteContent = Files.readAllBytes(certificatePath);
        args.put("content", Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(byteContent));
        driver.executeScript("mobile: installCertificate", args);
