Xcode: iPhone screenshots no longer work

I can't be sure when this stopped working because I haven't used it for a while, but it was possibly since I upgraded to the 3.2 SDK. In Organizer, when I select the "Screenshots" tab and press "Capture", nothing happens.

I've tried this with three different devices and I've restarted my Mac. What's happened, and how can I fix it?

Why can I no longer screenshot on iPhone?

It can be frustrating when you want to take a screenshot but your iPhone is frozen and unresponsive for unknown errors. In that case, you can press and hold the Power and Home buttons at the same time, but make sure to press the Power button a second before the Home button, which is the small change in iOS 10.

Why did my screenshots stop working?

Many times, less storage space is responsible for screenshots not working on Android. Some users get the “Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space” error as well. To check your storage, go to Settings > Storage or Settings > General Management > Storage.

Why can't I take screenshots anymore on Mac?

If the screenshot feature on your Mac isn't working, shut down the Mac and turn it on again. Then take a screenshot according to your preferred method, whether that's keyboard shortcuts or the Screenshot app. Check the screenshots keyboard shortcuts. These settings are on by default.

I don't have the solution for your problem, but here's a workaround:

Use the device to make your screenshots (press the home and lock buttons simultaneously). The resulting screenshot will be saved on the device.

To transfer the screenshot to your desktop don't use slow-ish iPhoto or iTunes to synchronize. Instead import the images using Preview.app. There's a command in the file menu to import images from your iPhone when it's connected.

On xcode 4.0 (+), you can go to organizer and create a screenshot of device.

Window -> Organizer -> click the device tab and then screenshot button.
