ReplayKit square recording

I was wondering is there any way to force replaykit to record only a part of the screen in square mode? The current API seems to record the whole screen!

ReplayKit records everything on the screen exempt system prompts and dialogs.

You can however overlay another UIWindow on top of your main one and apply a mask to an empty UIView to hide parts of the screen and force a square recording.

The frame ratio of the final recording will still be equal to the screen though.

    _overlayWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds]; //Full sized window
    _overlayWindow.backgroundColor =  [UIColor clearColor];
    _overlayWindow.userInteractionEnabled = false;
    _overlayWindow.hidden = NO;

UIView *maskedView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:_overlayWindow.bounds];

    // Create a mask layer 
    CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
    CGRect maskRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200);

    // Create a path with the rectangle in it.
    CGPathRef path = CGPathCreateWithRect(maskRect, NULL);

    maskLayer.path = path;
    // Set the mask of the view.
    maskedView.layer.mask = maskLayer;

[_overlayWindow addSubview:maskedView];

At the moment ReplayKit framework does not provide customisation of Screen Recording in terms of Screen size. So you have to record whole screen of GamePlay.
