In iOS 10 and below when I use window + s key then screen shot has been taken from simulator and it has been saved on Desktop but When I used same key in iOS 11 its not working.Please suggest how I will scale and take screen shot in iOS 11 by shortcut key.

Also, I want 100% scale screen shot that would be uploaded on App Store. But scaling percentage is not showing.

Use ⌘ + S to capture a screen shot.
Use window + S , if you are using windows/non-apple keyboard).

enter image description here


Here is result (Captured screen shot using short-key : window + S )

enter image description here

See for more details: How you can change simulator scale options with Xcode 9+.



Tip: How do you get screen shot with 100% (a scale with actual device size) that can be uploaded on AppStore?

Disable 'Optimize Rendering for Window scale' from Debug menu, before you take a screen shot (using ⌘ + S or Menubar ▶ File ▶ New Screen Shot)

There is an option

Menubar ▶ Debug ▶ Disable "Optimize Rendering for Window scale"

enter image description here



Tip 2: Where is screen shot saved (Default Path)? How to change default path?

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

To change default path (with Xcode 9+), press and hold ⌥ Option (alt) button from keyboard, while you take a screen shot or use keys ⌥ Option + ⌘ + s all together. It will show to a dialog with file storage options and also allows to set/change default path.

    Yes, Xcode 9 simulators has complete different options for scale that you can see in above link. – Krunal Jan 08 '18 at 12:24

Same key command + s is used to take screenshot in iOS 11 Simulator. Otherwise in simulator goto File -> New Screen Shot and take screen shot.

Their was some issue from Apple side, When we take screenshot in Xcode 8 version.

They resolved the issue in Xcode 9 Version.

Please let us know which xcode version you are using.
