Take iOS Simulator screenshots including device frame?

IosScreenshot

Ios Problem Overview


I want to take screenshots of my iOS apps running from Xcode in the iPhone Simulator and iPad Simulator.

However, when I take screenshots, only the screen is captured. The device frame (which is shown on my desktop surrounding the iOS Simulator window) is not included in the screenshot.

How can I take screenshots of Xcode's iOS Simulator app and include the bounding hardware device frame?

If you launch the iPhone Simulator in Xcode you can just capture that window on a Mac using the built-in application called Grab. Outputs to a number of your favorite graphics formats.
