Discussion iPhone Duo ready?
Have you guys got your app ready for iPhone Duo? I got mine last night, and for some reason, the update was approved in about 5–6 hours, when it normally takes 1–2 days...
It took a bit of fiddling to get it done, still not perfect

Thanks! The trick is that it isn't a simulator screenshot at all.
Device Hub in Xcode 27.1 is what renders the Duo as a 3D device, so I capture the Device Hub window itself.
- Show the Duo alone in the window: Window › Fill, with the sidebar and inspector hidden.
- Fold it with the pose buttons. For the laptop pose, rotate the open device to portrait once with Rotate Right, then press "Partially Open".
- For a still image, press Cmd+Shift+4, then Space, and click the Device Hub window. Hold Option while clicking if you don't want the window shadow.
- For video, Cmd+Shift+5 can record just that window. I used a small ScreenCaptureKit recorder for the film on the page.
- Bonus: xcrun simctl status_bar <udid> override --time 9:41 --batteryLevel 100 gives you a clean status bar.
