How to record iPhone screen during app testing in Xcode?

I'm developing an app and need to record the iPhone screen while it's running in Xcode for testing purposes. This would help correlate user actions with Xcode outputs and logs. Are there any software tools that can facilitate this?

Thanks in advance!
