I want to programmatically record the screen of an iPhone through the CLI. I have my iPhone 13 running iOS 17.5.1 connected to a Mac running macOS 14.5.
I can see it connects in Xcode and I can record the screen using Quicktime.
However, when I run ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i "" the screen doesn't show, only the camera. It once did in the past but I haven't managed to get it working since. What am I missing?
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""
