I am trying ScreenRecording implementation using Replaykit. It is currently able to record app screen, but when I am putting it in background for device screen recording, then RPScreenRecorder.startCapture callback is not getting called.

let recorder = RPScreenRecorder.shared()

recorder.delegate = self
recorder.startCapture(handler: { (buffer, bufferType, err) in
      self.counter = self.counter.advanced(by: 1)
      print(self.counter)
//    self.assetWriter.write(buffer: buffer, bufferType: bufferType)
   }, completionHandler: {
   if let error = $0 {
      print(error)
   }
 })

// stop recording

recorder.stopCapture {
   if let err = $0 {
       print(err)
   }
// self.assetWriter.finishWriting()
}

Do we need to allow any permissions for background access.

Broadcast extension Is what you need – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 28 '19 at 12:26
already done that too. – Ankit Thakur Mar 28 '19 at 12:33
Actually I dont want to broadcast it right now, just like iOS ControlCenter is saving that video in photolibrary, same thing I want to do. – Ankit Thakur Mar 28 '19 at 12:34
@AnkitThakur did you solve this? I just wanna record the video in the local device, no broadcast to any server – Pablo Martinez Jun 19 '20 at 17:04
@PabloMartinez yes, I have achieved it. When we are getting sample buffer from broadcast extension, then we are saving it in keyarchiever and then processing them from main app. – Ankit Thakur Jul 05 '20 at 14:51
@AnkitThakur yeah I did finally the same, use the broadcast upload extension :) – Pablo Martinez Jul 05 '20 at 21:31
