Xcode 11.4: simulator title bar

Is there way to hide new simulator's title bar? I use simulator for taking screenshots with device bezels for appstore. With this new title bar it is not possible anymore.

Using some help from the other answers here, I ended up doing the following:

  1. Take a screenshot without the shadow (CMD+SHIFT+5, then click while holding the OPTION key).
  2. Crop the title bar and apply the shadow using imagemagick (first installing imagemagick on mac using brew if not already installed).
$ brew install imagemagick
$ convert screenshot.png -gravity North -chop 0x94 \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x20+0+15 \) +swap -background transparent -layers merge +repage result.png
  • After downloading the package and understanding the command line within a couple of minutes, it was totally worth it, as it saved me a lot of image work!

For the ones that like to have this functionality, I've created RocketSim 6.0. It allows creating screenshots with bezels, as well as recordings.
