For people using Xcode 11 4  to get rid of the simulator top bar  this is far from ideal but you can disable shadows for the screenshot application in a terminal with the following command      defaults write com apple screencapture disable-shadow -bool TRUE  killall SystemUIServer   Then  you can use         4 and select the simulator to take a screenshot  Without the shadow  you can easily crop the top bar with the preview app  To re-enable the shadow for the screenshot application      defaults write com apple screencapture disable-shadow -bool FALSE  killall SystemUIServer   Source of this answer here
