How do I display all touches on screen in order to demo an iPhone app?

Question

Now that we have display mirroring on the iPad 2 (wired now... wireless coming in iOS 5), is there an easy way to display all touches on screen? This would be useful when demoing an app?

What I am looking for is the ability to just include some SDK, and maybe change a line of code after which all of my touches will be displayed on screen.

I have seen many other ways to demo apps: 1)Using the simulator along with a screen capture tool that will turn your mouse cursor into a big white circle 2)Jailbreak hacks that can record the screen/display all touches

However, my goal is to just have touches displayed on a regular app running on an actual device.

I realise this question is old now, but none of the existing solutions were good enough for me. I needed something that worked out of the box with multiple windows, without having to subclass windows or do any fiddling about.

So I created ShowTime, which (up until Swift 4) literally just requires you to either add the pod to your podfile or add ShowTime.swift to your target. The rest is totally automatic unless you want to configure the defaults.

Starting from Swift 4 there's one extra step, in your AppDelegate, just set ShowTime.enabled = .always or ShowTime.enabled = .debugOnly

Edit: Swift 4 now has auto-enabling again so no need to manually enable.
