Can I record a screen on iOS 11 now?

Question

Today I saw several videos that the apple provided the opportunity to record the screen in the control center.

I wonder if it is also available to developers or not?

I googled but did not find any document related to this. Maybe someone asked about this topic.

According to a new update in the API document, you can only capture video and audio through your application.

RPScreenRecorder : A generic recorder object that provides the ability to record audio and video of your application.

In this class, you can record the screen of your application, as well as associate Audion with an iPhone microphone.

Below are some methods that you can use to record a screen with various different parameters.

Access to the general recorder:

class func shared() 

To manage application recording:

 -- Starts recording the app display. func startRecording(handler: ((Error?) -> Void)? = nil) -- Stops the current recording. func stopRecording(handler: ((RPPreviewViewController?, Error?) -> Void)? = nil) -- Starts screen and audio capture. func startCapture(handler: ((CMSampleBuffer, RPSampleBufferType, Error?) -> Void)?, completionHandler: ((Error?) -> Void)? = nil) -- Stops screen capture func stopCapture(handler: ((Error?) -> Void)? = nil) 

Hope this helps you capture the screen in your application.
