Hello,
Xcode 12 comes with great features! Simulator is also updated with new features. Let’s see in detail.
New Features
- Simulator can display a simulated device in full-screen mode, or tile its window alongside Xcode.
- New panel have options of the screenshot, home and rotate by single click.
“Check the beautiful animation of taking screenshot.”
“When you right click on that screen, the options for screenshot will appear.”
- Simulator defaults to the internal microphone unless you explicitly choose a different audio source. This avoids triggering phone call mode on Bluetooth headsets which degrades audio quality while listening to music.
- Simulator supports simulating Nearby Interaction for devices that support the feature. Dragging the device window around on the screen will update the simulated distance between the two devices. The farther apart the windows are on screen the greater the reported distance.
- Xcode 12 supports testing in-app purchases directly in Simulator or on a connected device, using a new local StoreKit test environment.

There are couple of options to record video of simulator from the terminal. Please check below screenshots! Use following command with some options:
