does not work with iOS Simulator 6.0 #2

marten-seemann · 2013-01-30T21:39:21Z

On Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iOS Simulator 6.0 the app does not produce correct images. The only output is a video / image with a dimension of 21x21 or 22x22 pixels that are not related to the content shown in the simulator.

I have not tested the app on Mountain Lion / iOS SDK 6.0 Simulator.
I will do it soon. Thanks for the feedback !

marten-seemann · 2013-01-30T21:57:34Z

Have you tested it on Lion? If you did so, I could install Xcode and WhazzerFinger in a VMware.

zippy1978 · 2013-01-31T21:25:21Z

Hi,
I have just tested on Mountain Lion with latest XCode and iOS SDK (6.1): everything is working fine.
Could you tell me in which language you use the app (if it is not english or french, it does not work) ?

marten-seemann · 2013-02-01T08:48:43Z

My system language is english.

zippy1978 · 2013-02-02T17:02:12Z

Very strange... Could you show me:

a screenshot of your desktop
a screenshot taken with the app

So I can figure out why the wrong screen area is captured...

marten-seemann · 2013-02-03T20:01:58Z

Here is a screenshot taken with the app:

Yes, it is really this small grey rectangle.

I recently upgrade my Xcode and now have the Simulator version 6.1, the behaviour of the bug did not change.

zippy1978 · 2013-02-03T21:36:10Z

Ok, I have the same setup but without any problem...

The only difference is that my language is French.

This is pretty important because the app finds the simulator window according to its title... Maybe the name of the simulator window is wrong in english... It should be 'iOS Simulator' in order to work. Is that what you have ?

Another thing : you must enable accessibility in system preferences.

… for me it either does not work on german system.

zippy1978 · 2013-03-12T08:41:58Z

Hi,
If you tell me the exact name of the simulator application in german, I can fix it.

jk · 2013-03-12T08:48:46Z

Hi,
I further tested it with the system language changed to english and french and it also didn't work. The simulator is called »iOS-Simulator« when the language is changed to german. But I also think the iOS-Simulator doesn't bring a german localization - and it defaults back to english.

trailblazr · 2013-03-13T14:09:05Z

You guys should just exchange the following line 145 in AppDelegate.m:

if([application.localizedName isEqualToString:NSLocalizedString(@"iOS Simulator", @"iOS Simulator application name")])

The string "iOS Simulator" has to be named exactly the way your iOS Simulator window is labeled. Otherwise the app cannot find nothing to record. I just renamed it to have a hypen inbetween so it now looks like "iOS-Simulator", because thats how it is named in my version.

To be absoletely sure no localization issue is in the way, use:
if([application.localizedName isEqualToString:@"iOS-Simulator"])

UPDATE:
Okay to be more precise, you need to exchange the above mentioned string "iOS Simulator" by the name shown in the Menubar. For me that was "iOS-Simulator".
:-)

jk · 2013-03-13T14:24:27Z

Does it have to be the exact string or just the prefix? I made you a screenshot, it has a couple of more information like the device the simulator simulates (here that's the german version):

trailblazr · 2013-03-13T14:47:05Z

Okay to be more precise:
You need to exchange the above mentioned string "iOS Simulator" by the name shown in the Menubar. For me that was "iOS-Simulator".

jk · 2013-03-13T14:55:28Z

I see, that's "iOS-Simulator" for the german version.

zippy1978 · 2013-03-17T22:38:17Z

Hi,

I added the german application name to the code. It should work now !

To do that I added a german localization for the app, but only the application name is translated. If you want to translate the whole application, you only have to edit the german version of Localizable.strings file.

jk · 2013-03-17T23:01:57Z

Hi,

I just tried your latest changes. And it finds the simulator and I was able to record, but the resulted clip was junk, I uploaded it: http://cl.ly/NcG5

I also saw a few things on the console:

)

after that I noticed, that there was a problem when capturing the iPad version. So I just tested the non-retina iPhone simulator and it worked. By the way: I looked into the Localization.strings file - I think those console logs point out a problem with missing dialog boxes - I didn't see any.

And of course I made you a german localization:

/* About menu item title */
"About" = "Über";

/* Simulator not found message */
"Couldn't find iOS Simulator." = "Der iOS-Simulator wurde nicht gefunden.";

/* Simulator not found alert title */
"Couldn't find Simulator" = "Simulator nicht gefunden;

/* Encoding window title */
"Encoding movie..." = "Film wieder kodiert…";

/* iOS Simulator application name */
"iOS Simulator" = "iOS-Simulator";

/* Quit menu item title */
"Quit" = "Beenden";

/* Record menu item title */
"Record" = "Aufnahme starten";

/* Screenshot menu item title */
"Screenshot" = "Screenshot";

/* Stop recording menu item title */
"Stop recording" = "Aufnahme stoppen";

/* Universal Access alert title */
"Universal Access Disabled" = "Zugriff für Hilfsgeräte deaktiviert";

/* Universal Access disabled message */
"You must enable access for assistive devices in the System Preferences, under Universal Access." = "Sie müssen in den Systemeinstellungen unter Bedienungshilfen den Zugriff für Hilfsgeräte aktiviernen.";

but: after recompiling it with the german localization the app wasn't able to find the simulator anymore, but I didn't do anything to tos "iOS Simulator" key.

I just found a typo in my localization. It worked after fixing it. I will make you a pull request for that.

zippy1978 · 2013-03-18T07:13:11Z

Hi,
I just fixed an issue caused by ly refactoring yesterday.

And you are right : the tool works only with iPhone Retina 3.5 inch... I will probably add other devices one of these days...
