Xcode 12.5 has taken the refresh (command + R) keyboard mapping for the iOS Simulator meaning it will start recording a video instead of reloading the app. Changing this mapping is useful for when developing React Native applications.
Re-map the refresh command to record videos using a new keyboard shortcut as follows:
Open System Preferences -> Keyboard
Select Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts
Click the + button
Select "Other"
Press shift + command + g
Enter /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/
Select "Simulator App"
Specify a value of "Record Screen" for the Menu Title
Click in the keyboard shortcut box and press the desired key shortcut (for example, option + command + v)
Click "Add"
