HOWTO: Record a movie from the iPhone Simulator
This is easy, only a few little steps.
1. First install SIMBL, use the pkg install and choose All Users install.
2. Download the iPhone Simulator Capture
3. Open up the iPhone Simulator and click on the iOS Simulator menu option and select About iOS Simulator. Note down the version number in brackets after the main version, it is 235 for me.
4. Open up the iPhone Simulator Capture.xcodeproj, navigate to Info.plist in the project view and update MaxBundleVersion to be the iOS Simulation version noted above.
5. Select Release and Build. You may see a post-build error, this is as the build process attempts to copy the output to two locations, the user SIMBL directory and the all-users SIMBL direction, only one is likely to exist from your install. The plugin should be copied to the SIMBL plugins directory*
6. Restart the Simulator and you’ll now see a Record menu option! It should be all fairly simple, one thing is that after you record a move you need to manually choose the Save Movie option afterwards, it does not save it to the HD as you go!
Easy!
* You can verify the build completed correctly by going to ~Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins and you’ll see the file “iPhone Simulator Capture.bundle” if the install succeeded. If it isn’t there then check the user directory ~Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins directory. If it is in neither then you may need to copy the bundle manually, check the iPhone Simulator Capture build/Release directory.
