Save screenshots on tvOS

The question is very simple, but i haven't found an answer.

How can i take a screenshot on tvOS?

In simulator is straightforward, just File -> Save Screenshot, but on a real device? I already tried some combination of buttons, but nothing happened.

Let me know. Thank you.

Solution

  • With the Apple TV connected to your development machine via USB.

    Steps

    • In XCode from the menu Window -> Devices
    • Select the Apple TV on the left representing your device.
    • On the device, configure the screen the way you want to capture it.
    • Click the Take Screenshot button.
    • It will save the screenshot to your development Mac

    The new screenshot appears on the desktop.
