Unfortunately, what you ask is not possible. There are ways for your app to record *itself* (e.g. through ReplayKit), and there are ways for a connected computer to record the screen of any running app (e.g. through QuickTime Player). But there is no way for your app to record *another* app that you didn't develop.
