Where do iOS Simulator screen recordings go?

Sorry if this is obvious, but where do iOS Simulator screen recordings go? They are not on my Desktop.

I accidentally started a screen recording and it recorded for like an hour before I stopped it. I'd like to delete that file but I can't find any indication on where that video file is getting stored and Google has been no help.

Solution

  • to record a video in IOS Simulator. Open File menu > Record Screen or ⌘ - command + R .

    Simulator saves screenshot file on (logged-in user's) desktop and it's the default path.

    To change the default path (with Xcode 9+), press and hold ⌥ the Option (alt) button from the keyboard, while you take a screenshot.

    Or Using Mac Keyboard: Press keys ⌥ Option + ⌘ + s altogether. It will show a dialog with file storage options and also allows to set/change the default path.
