Question

I want a screenshot of the image on the screen saved into the saved photo library.

Answer 1

Below method works for OPENGL objects also

//iOS7 or above
- (UIImage *) screenshot {

    CGSize size = CGSizeMake(your_width, your_height);

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, [UIScreen mainScreen].scale);

    CGRect rec = CGRectMake(0, 0, your_width, your_height);
    [_viewController.view drawViewHierarchyInRect:rec afterScreenUpdates:YES];

    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return image;
}
