Command (⌘)-R is now recording the simulator in addition to reloading JS (Xcode 12.5)

Description

Looks like the CMD-R mapping is taken now in XCode 12.5:

React Native version:

N/A.

Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.

1. Open simulator in XCode 12.5
2. Press CMD-R to reload JS, the simulator will start recording the screen

I did not find a way to prevent this. Should we map reloading JS to different keys?

Double R 👍

@dulmandakh It'll record the screen then reload the JS 😢

Just Double R, no command key

Double R doesn't work on iOS simulator, I think that only works for Android. As a workaround for now I'm just using CMD+D to open the dev menu and reload it that way

Hey @dulmandakh ! Double R does not work on iOS simulator. And even if you could... When you were focus in some TextInput, that wouldn't work I guess.

As an alternative:

• R key in the terminal running the packager
• CMD+D and Reload as @ernestasgobionis suggested

But I am hoping we can map another CMD+ something in the simulator because I am recording ALL THE TIME by mistake 😂 .
