Simulator

When a screenshot is taken in macOS, running `mdls Screen\ Shot\ 2017-12-14\ at\ 3.47.54\ pm.png` will yield the following Spotlight Metadata Attribute keys (subset listed):

kMDItemIsScreenCapture = 1
kMDItemKind = "PNG image"
kMDItemScreenCaptureGlobalRect = ("-56", "-9", 1552, 989)

However when a screenshot is taken from the iOS Simulator (with the File > New Screen Shot ⌘S command), a file is written to the desktop that doesn't have any of the above keys.

The application I use would greatly benefit if these keys were added to the file written from the iOS Simulator.
