I want to give you a simple and short answer: "This is not possible"

While your app is running, you can't get access to other apps (in this case to the SpringBoard.app).

Open XCode Organizer, Devices tab, hit the screenshot button.

Or simply press the "Home" and "Sleep/Power" buttons at the same time, which will take a screenshot anywhere and save it to your photo roll.
