Using Fastlane Snapshot to automate creating of appstore preview videos

snaptake's Issues

Recording fails with "We could not allocate necessary AV objects to perform the recording"

I tried to use snaptake to record a video of my app. Generating the recordingFlag.txt works, but starting to record the video does not.

The error is the following when running IO.popen("xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo '#{path}'") inside the Listen.to-block:

Couldn't create an asset writer for writing video frames: allocationErrorError starting video recorder: Error Domain=simctl.SimulatorError Code=2 "We could not allocate necessary AV objects to perform the recording.".
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=simctl.SimulatorError, code=2):
We could not allocate necessary AV objects to perform the recording.

If I remove Listen.to and just manually start recording the same way within fastlane it works. Is that a permission problem because of different processes? Did you ever stumbled across this?

I found this when researching the problem: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/131926 and https://twitter.com/thesunshinejr/status/1245730408282677255 but it seams no one was able to fix that.

Here is the full output:

(I get a lot of chdir-warnings, but these are not the problem, I think.)
