Apple recommends cropping out the status bar from screenshots submitted to the app store. Doing this manually in Preview is a very tedious and error-prone process.
Do any developers have any best-practices recommendations or automated techniques for speeding up this process? The goal would be to take as input iPad and/or iPhone screenshots, and output them with the toolbar cropped off. We need to support both portrait and landscape orientation, and Retina-resolution iPhone screens.
I've found a few utilities online that purport to help with this, but the ones I have found seem to fail on Retina-display resolution screens. And another that works via the iOS Simulator requires a 1920x1080 resolution monitor to process iPad screenshots - making it useless for non-17" laptop-based developers.
Any other recommendations for taking good screenshots for the AppStore? I know (based on my searching) that there are a lot of other developers who would be interested in a quicker workflow to handle this.
Bonus points for being able to bulk-process an entire directory.

As long as you can get everything into the shot that you want to capture, swipe up on the screen until the toolbar disappears and Safari goes into full screen mode, then take the screenshot.
Here's how to crop a screenshot on your iPhone: Take a screenshot of the content you want to save or share. Tap the thumbnail image that immediately appears in the lower-left corner of your screen. Tap and drag the white frame around your photo from any of the bold side or corner bars to crop out unwanted information.
Also, you can press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Command+Shift+P on Mac. Type screenshot into the search box. Select Capture full-size screenshot.
I developed a free App, Status Barred which is on the Mac App Store. It crops your iOS screenshots from iPhone, iPad, portrait, landscape, normal & retina display.
