In Xcode 6 Apple added simctl which allows to do a lot with the iOS simulator, but there is no option to take screenshots. There are 2 alternatives, less comfortable:

  1. Using instruments and *.js scripts - UIAutomation.
  2. Using osascript as mentioned in: http://jehiah.cz/a/iphone-simulator-screenshot.

Looking for a simple way like xcrun simctl screenshot

Sorry, this is not exposed via CoreSimulator. The only way you can get the screenshot is by interacting with iOS Simulator.app. Please file a bug report requesting this feature at http://bugreport.apple.com

Using OSAScript is the most direct way to do this if you don't want to completely automate your iOS application through UIAutomation.

You can use this command: xcrun simctl io booted screenshot Screenshot.png
