Description

Debugging UI tests successfully requires video recordings of individual test runs. Are there any thoughts about how to do this properly?

I have found this API from Apple

- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/replaykit/rpscreenrecorder
- [Seems like it's not a viable option though](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33484101/how-to-save-replaykit-video-to-camera-roll-with-in-app-button/34852550#34852550)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start with Apple's RPScreenRecorder documentation and the linked Stack Overflow discussion, then inspect EarlGrey's existing UI-test execution path. Done means defining a workable way to capture and retain video for one individual test run, including its platform constraints.
