Capturing clean screenshots (simulator + status bar)

Clutter like the clock, battery or notifications looks amateur in a store image. For a clean capture:

iOS (Simulator)

• Freeze the status bar: xcrun simctl status_bar <UDID> override --time "9:41" --batteryLevel 100 --cellularBars 4 --wifiBars 3
• Capture: xcrun simctl io <UDID> screenshot out.png (full resolution).
• Apple's classic time is 9:41.

Android (Emulator)

• Enable demo mode (adb): hide notifications, freeze the clock, show a full battery.
• E.g. adb shell settings put global sysui_demo_allowed 1 then the demo exit/enter commands.

Then

Drag the clean raw screenshots into Vitrinshot; add a frame, angle, background and caption, then export at store sizes.
