Apple tends to ask for a video of the app in use if it's not clear how the app operates. Common causes are that the app is not written in English (so the reviewers can't read the app instructions), is tied to a site that requires login, or makes use of specific hardware. In these cases, the app reviewers can't easily verify correct operation of the app and would like a video showing common use so they can repeat the steps and verify the app.
My understanding is that a YouTube video will suffice.
There are some options (including free or trial software) for recording your app here:
Yes it has to be a video on iOS device. They rejected the app again saying :
Second time: "Specifically, it may be appropriate to provide us with a demo video that displays the full functionality of the app while displaying a proper iOS device."
First time: "We began the review of your app but are not able to continue because we need access to a video that demonstrates your app in use."
It looks like some Apple testers are not provided an iPhone with working data plan. So when an app requires to have an iOS device for field test (e.g. an app used for finding places to eat in 1/4 mile radius, outdoor activity app - running routes, biking trails, etc.), the tester has no way of knowing whether the app works or not, unless he/she sees the video. The other reason may be they just don't have time or don't want to do field test.
I submitted my first app that required a device and one can't test it without it - it also got rejected the first time. Here is what you need to to:
Make a video that shows your apps functionality starting from pressing the app icon
Slowly go through the screens so one can follow. It is also helpful to add some explanatory text
The video does not have to be professional, but it needs to show all the main functionality
You may use all sorts of recording techniques, but the easiest I find just to use another iPhone. You may spend as much time as you like making the video professional.
Make a note for the reviewer and add the link to youtube so that Apple can easily get to it
While a video captured with simulator on the Mac looks neat and is somewhat more easy to be created, it would be more "safe" to record one on your physical device.
Sometimes reviewers want to see if your app really runs well on the device, not just on the simulator. They may request another video shots and it will delay review process a bit longer.
mhm that's may be a new rule... i've uploaded a new app just a week ago (with no video help), and apple accepted it with no video-request...
or probably "mike Bobbit" is right, your app is not too much clear in what it should do, how it works...
any way, i was thinking to create a video for the web page of my app, and i wiil probably use a digital camera, but a good way could be to use a "capture screen" app on my mac, and using the xCode iPhone simulator...
there are many software to capture screen, in past i used "snapz" but there are many other...

如果不清楚应用程序的运行方式,苹果往往会要求提供该应用程序的使用视频。常见原因是应用程序不是用英语编写的(因此审阅者无法阅读应用程序说明)、绑定到需要登录的网站或使用特定硬件。在这些情况下,应用程序审核者无法轻松验证应用程序的正确操作,并且希望有一个显示常见用途的视频,以便他们可以重复这些步骤并验证应用程序。
我的理解是 YouTube 视频就足够了。
这里有一些用于录制应用程序的选项(包括免费或试用软件):

是的,它必须是iOS设备上的视频。他们再次拒绝了该应用程序说:
第二次:
“具体来说,向我们提供一个演示视频,该视频在显示合适的iOS设备时显示该应用程序的完整功能。”
第一次:
“我们开始对您的应用程序进行审查,但无法继续进行,因为我们需要访问显示您使用的应用程序的视频。”
看起来一些Apple测试人员没有为iPhone提供工作数据计划。因此,当应用程序需要具有iOS设备进行现场测试(例如,用于查找1/4英里半径的餐饮场所,户外活动应用程序 - 运行路线,自行车道等),测试仪无法知道该应用程序是否有效,除非他/她看到视频。另一个原因可能是他们只是没有时间或不想进行现场测试。

我提交了我的第一个应用程序,它需要一个设备,没有它就无法测试它 - 它第一次也被拒绝了。您需要执行以下操作:
它。

That should do it.
虽然Mac上使用模拟器捕获的视频看起来很整洁,并且更容易创建,但在物理设备上录制一个视频将更加“安全”。
有时,审阅者想看看您的应用程序在设备上是否真的运行良好,而不仅仅是在模拟器上。他们可能会要求另一个视频拍摄,并且会延迟审核过程更长的时间。

嗯
那可能是一个新规则...
一周前,我已经上传了一个新应用(没有视频帮助),
苹果没有视频重新征询它……
或可能是“迈克·波比特(Mike Bobbit)”是对的,您的应用程序在应该做的事情上不太清楚,它的工作原理...
无论如何,我都在想创建视频对于我的应用程序的网页,我可能会使用数码相机,但是一种很好的方法是在我的Mac上使用“捕获屏幕”应用程序,并使用Xcode iPhone Simulator ...
有很多软件可以捕获屏幕,过去,我用“ snapz ”
但是还有很多...
