Your code is pretty close. What you need to do is re-render the screenshot at the custom resolution. I modified your code to do this:

UIView* captureView = self.view;

/* Capture the screen shoot at native resolution */
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(captureView.bounds.size, captureView.opaque, 0.0);
[captureView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage * screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

/* Render the screen shot at custom resolution */
CGRect cropRect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 ,1435 ,1435);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(cropRect.size, captureView.opaque, 1.0f);
[screenshot drawInRect:cropRect];
UIImage * customScreenShot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

/* Save to the photo album */
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(customScreenShot , nil, nil, nil);

Note that if capture view is not square then the image will be distorted. The saved image will always be square and 1435x1435 pixels.
