How to remove iOS Simulator device label
However, I need to record a video of the simulator using an application. How can I remove this label above the simulator?
I don't think you can hide that with the latest Xcode 11.4 update.
You can screen record with QuickTime and a real device using a lightning cable.
From File > New Movie Recording > Select Device next to Record button), and then add the video to a tool like Rotato
I'd recommend a static angle if you're playing a video.
See Sean Allen's device render video on how to use Rotato.

I need to record 100 separate videos of my simulator which is about 40 hours of high quality. I want to record video of Xcode simulator and system audio in the background. Since I need to use my computer at the same time I don't want to use tools like Camtasia or quick time. I am wondering if this is achievable. If so this will save my one month.
In the latest version of Xcode Simulators "Scroll over the Save Screen Button and Hold the OPTION key , gives the screen record option.
Save screen button will change to record video button
You can achieve this by following.
1.In simulator Menu Choose Hardware > Audio Input > System to use the same audio input as the Mac.
2.Open Terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to save video.
Run Command : xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo <filename>.<extension>
It will start recording.To finish Press Control-C. Video will save on current directory.
Is there a way to record the screen of the iOS simulator and some sort of indicator? I basically want to replicate what Robinhood has done here: https://www.robinhood.com/
Please download the Jing software from here. By this you will be able to capture screencast of iOS Simulator.
To create an app preview video, it is easiest if the developer records the screen of all type of devices, when using the app.
What if I have only one type of device, an iPhone 5? If I create app preview video and upload only for the iPhone 5, what will happen when someone with some other device, like iPhone 6, tries to see my app?
Will he able to see as replacement video, the video for iPhone 5, or no video will be in App Store to see because video is strictly device-specific?
Sorry for the very very very late reply.
The reason you have to upload different screenshots for different devices is so the user gets the most optimized screenshots. If you only have one device, try to record the simulator at 100% scale on each device so you can get the app preview on every device.
How can I record app preview for iPads? It should have 1200x900 resolution, but there is not such simulator in Xcode?
What do you think to record one for iPhone and then resize it to 1200x900? Unfortunately iMovie does not support resizing video.
You can use Quicktime, a native app for MacOS, it will save your screen in a High Resolution, then you can use any App of Video Editing like iMovie (Final-Cut, Adobe Premiere, After Effect) to redesign your Preview!
In iMovie, Make sure you have the latest Version and Do: File --> New App Preview
I am encountering an issue which I believe is caused, as a result of upgrading to iOS version 6 on my iPad2 and iPad4. I have searched the support boards but have not found a solution to this issue. The issue involves mirroring the iPad on a TV using the official HDMI adaptor as shown here: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter
When playing a video on the device using the native MPMoviePlayerController, via the adapter, the result on the TV is not full screen and, instead, it is provided with black borders around the video (these bars are an ever present even when viewing the app's non-video parts or the standard apple menus which I believe was always the case but, previously, the video played full screen via the cable).
I have tested apps which I have developed which contain video playback, as well as a number of leading apps on the marketplace, and all experience the same issue when playing video mirrored on the device with iOS6 and TV at the same time. The only app I found that was able to play the video full screen on TV is the BBC iPlayer, but this seems to switch of mirroring off temporarily when the video is played full screen on TV.
I believe that, when on iOS 5, it was possible to mirror the video playback on device and TV simultaneously, and at full screen, without the black bars on the TV.
Can anyone here please confirm if this issue is related to iOS 6 and be able to kindly point me in the right direction to resolve this issue in the iOS apps that I have developed?
Are you sure that this is not happening because of your external screen's overscan settings?
Check this thread iOS screen mirroring shows overscan borders on selected apps
And here is some information on overscan & underscan from Apple
