Step-by-Step Guide to Screen Recording on App Launch

Understanding Your Limitations
While you can automate screenshots using the Shortcuts app, capturing a screen recording when an app launches isn’t directly supported yet. So, we need to explore alternative options.
Using Siri
You can ask Siri to start screen recording, which can save you a couple of steps:
- Activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri” or holding down the side button.
- Then say, “Record my screen.”
- After Siri starts recording, swiftly open the app to capture the crash.
Control Center Quick Access
If you prefer manual control:
- Add Screen Recording to Control Center:
  - Go to Settings > Control Center.
  - Tap Customize Controls and add Screen Recording.
- This allows you to swipe down from the upper-right corner (on iPhones with Face ID) or up from the bottom (on older models) to access the feature quickly.
Set a Reminder
If using Siri or accessing the Control Center isn’t ideal, set a reminder. In your Reminders app, create a note to remind you to start the screen recording every time you’re about to launch the app.
Feedback to Apple
If this feature is essential for you, providing feedback to Apple could help! Sharing your need for a shortcut or automation for screen recording at app launch might lead to future updates.

Conclusion

While Apple doesn’t currently support an automated screen recording function for app launches, utilizing Siri or quick access from the Control Center can make the process smoother. By taking these steps, you’ll be better prepared to capture those critical moments and help diagnose any issues with your app. Happy troubleshooting!
