How to Save ReplayKit Video to Camera Roll with In-App Button

Question

I am relatively new to iOS development and Swift but I have an app I\'m working on which is supposed to record the activity on the screen and save the resulting video to the cam

Yes, you can. Check this ReplayKit2 Swift 4:

Once you have the file, it shouldn't be too much trouble to save it to the camera roll with something along the lines of:

static func saveVideo(url: URL, returnCompletion: @escaping (String?) -> () ) {

        DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { 

            guard let documentsDirectoryURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first else { return }

            if !FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: documentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(url.lastPathComponent).path) {

                URLSession.shared.downloadTask(with: url) { (location, response, error) -> Void in

                    guard let location = location else { return }

                    let destinationURL = documentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(response?.suggestedFilename ?? url.lastPathComponent)

                    do {
                        try FileManager.default.moveItem(at: location, to: destinationURL)
                        PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization({ (authorizationStatus: PHAuthorizationStatus) -> Void in
                            if authorizationStatus == .authorized {
                                PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
                                    PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideo(atFileURL: destinationURL)}) { completed, error in
                                        DispatchQueue.main.async {
                                            if completed {                                                    returnCompletion(url.lastPathComponent)
                                            } else {
                                                returnCompletion(nil)
                                            }
                                        }
                                }
                            }
                        })
                        returnCompletion(url.lastPathComponent)
                    } catch {
                        returnCompletion(nil)
                    }

                }.resume()

            } else {
                returnCompletion(nil)
            }
        }

    }
