To record the iOS screen, you can use the new recording API provided by ScreenCaptureKit. Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Create an SCRecordingOutputConfiguration instance: This configuration will specify where to save the recorded file, and you can optionally customize the file type and video codec.

  2. Create an SCRecordingOutput instance: Use the configuration created in the previous step and set a delegate to receive events.

  3. Add the configured recording output to the stream: This will prepare the stream for recording.

  4. Start the capture: Call startCapture to begin the stream and recording.

  5. Stop the capture: Call stopCapture to stop both the stream and recording. If you want to continue streaming without recording, call removeRecordingOutput instead.
