For Xcode 6, the older Xcode 4 & 5 Organizer menu item has been split up into both an Organizer and a Devices set of menu choices.

Under the Devices menu item, you'll see a list of the various devices Xcode knows about, in addition to simulators and things like that.

And a cleaner looking interface that lists device information, installed apps for each of those devices, etc.

Here's my question:

There are two bigger buttons on the new Devices page. One is "View Device Logs" and the other is "Take Screenshot".

Take Screenshot button in Devices

If one presses the "Take Screenshot" button to take a screenshot of what's on the connected device, there's no obvious way to actually view that screenshot.

Does anyone know how to view the screenshots that were taken from the Xcode 6 Devices menu? Hard to believe that's an oversight on the Dev Tool team's part.

Six minutes after asking my question I figured out the answer. There's a tooltip that pops up when hovering over the "Take Screenshot" button.

The screenshots get saved directly to the desktop and you'll see them saved there with the filename format "Screen Shot YYYY-MM-DD at HH.mm.ss AM/PM.png".
