Description

I added iOS code that takes a screenshot of everything in the UIWindow. This functionality works fine when running in the simulator, but when I run the functionality on the device I get some odd behavior.

When I run on the simulator I am able to convert the UIWindow to a UIImage. I am also able to preview the UIWindow in the Xcode debugger. When running on a device the creation of the UIImage fails. I'm unable to see a preview of the UIWindow in the Xcode debugger.

Sorry if my description of the error was not clear. Let me know if I can provide more detail.

Thanks!
