ReplayKit Screen Share Not Working

[rajleechaudry]

Realizing this is quite old, still thought I'd ask - when I try the ScreenCapture target, nothing happens, nor do I get any errors. I see nothing in the Xcode either. I followed the instructions. I modified the UserDefaultsDao with the correct Group ID, but nothing happens. The BasicBroadcast use case with the camera works fine.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Are you launching the system screen capture UI? Xcode can't actually launch the ReplayKit service itself, it just installs the extension on your device so you can select it.

Once the ScreenCapture target is installed, follow this - https://support.apple.com/en-us/102653. But instead of tapping the record icon, long press it, and it will show you a list of extensions that support screen capture (this happens always, even if our extension isn't installed). Select our extension and then start recording.

At that point, Xcode should detect the process launched and start showing logs. Hope that helps.

Thanks @bclymer. Worked well. Long-press comment (then some tinkering) helped. Cheers!

@bclymer Is there a similar example for Android you have handy?

[bclymer]

Our Android example app can do screen capture natively within the app (it doesn't need an extension like iOS does). You can see part of that here - https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-ivs-broadcast-android-sample/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/ivs/basicbroadcast/activities/MainActivity.kt#L174-L193. The example app has everything you'd need to do screen capture on Android.

Thanks! Cheers!
