Video recording? I know only of https://github.com/danielpaulus/quicktime_video_hack But never managed to get it work
You can only take screenshot with pymobiledevice3, so can do a stream, taking screenshot by screenshot. The FPS are going to be ridiculous. (0.5 to 1 FPS) If you want to do something better, you can indeed checky Quicktime Video Hack. But it won't be working for iOS 17, and it's a nightmare as it's breaking a lot because of gstreamer issues. You can also check IDB and Appium for that. Appium is maintained and you can get a stream using XCUITest, pretty easy to start, but Appium can be very hard to setup. Not a lot of real other options sadly, that would be way easier if we had a way to compress screenshots, but the Apple service to take screenshot doesn't have any option for that.
