iOS Remote Simulator screenshot location is incorrect

[kamranayub]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The docs page says the screenshots are saved in Users/{User}/Pictures/Xamarin/iOS Simulator but that isn't the case, at least on my machine and the latest simulator version.

❯ cd ~/Pictures/Xamarin
Set-Location : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\subka\Pictures\Xamarin' because it does not exist.
At line:12 char:95
+ ...  if ($path -eq $null) {Set-Location} else {Set-Location $path}; Set-F ...
+                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\subka\Pictures\Xamarin:String) [Set-Location], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand

I haven't found where it is yet but will update the issue if I do. Android emulator just saves to ~/Desktop so that's easy.

Additional Context

I don't know if this affects anything, but my Pictures/Desktop/Videos profile folders are tied to my OneDrive.

I realized maybe it was capturing on the MacOS device, but no folder there either. However, to workaround it I could use the simulator on that device to capture a screenshot (which gets saved to the desktop).

ls ~/Pictures/Xamarin
ls: /Users/kamranicus/Pictures/Xamarin: No such file or directory

I'm finding them in ~/Pictures/Microsoft/iOS Simulator. Weird sudden change?

Of course, those screenshots are somehow at half size. I can set the scale of the simulator to 100%, and they're full-size. I really thought that was just for the window display? Still, somehow my menu page freezes the simulator window at 100%, so I can't get a screenshot of that.
