is it possible to take screenshot of home screen of iPhone before start my application in iOS.
I had tried google and stack overflow but it only allow to take screenshot of any screen of my application.
Look at the following screen which I want to make for my application background.
Any suggestion will appreciated.
Taking screenshots outside your sandbox is not possible unless you have Jailbreak since that would be huge privacy issue. Sorry to be bearer of the bad news.
One and probably only option is to ask user to choose background himself. Second option is to build Today extension, which is then shown in your notification center - then you would have background you desire.

I am currently building an IOS app with React Native, and I am looking into how to prevent users from taking screenshots on certain parts of the app.
I read this article on this issue: https://www.netguru.com/blog/prevent-screenshots-react-native, and I learned that there are basically two options. I can either use the paid ScreenShieldKit SDK or I can create an invisible screen animation that somehow covers the content of the app in a screenshot.
I am not looking to pay for ScreenShieldKit, so how can I go about making this animation to cover screenshots on my app, and will it even work?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
The two options for preventing screenshots on a React Native IOS App
ScreenShieldKit's technology is patented. And more likely than not, it is based on the other solution which you yourself know of (invisible screen animation). So it may not be wise to post the exact code here, as it could very well infringe upon their patent.
I am new to iOS development and wondering if it's possible to create a floating button which always stays on top of screen even if you have any other app running in full screen mode?
No you can't do that on iOS, Apple isn't allowing this kind of features (like Messenger on Android for example)
I assume you mean something closer to AssistiveTouch. When turned on in accessibility, it will stay on top of the screen, no matter what app you have open. I recommend reading the Apple Docs for further investigating into this, but at the moment, Apple does not let you do this. Your app can't mess with other apps. It's pretty against what Apple's design guidelines allow you to do.
Is there a work around for what you are trying to accomplish with this? Maybe if you expand your question, I can help.
I'm looking for a way to prohibit iOS taking screenshots of my App. I would like to blurr or color the screen when I take a screenshot of my App. I'm already able to change the appearance of the screen when sending the App to the background (double home tap). Is there any way to achieve this?

Someone has already asked that question and that can be found here: ios-detection-of-screenshot
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to show a capture screen like assistive touch view in ios when we click on application icon.Means i want to show the iPad screen and top on the with transparent background a view need to display.
I want to create an app like this after clicking the app icon i want a screen like this on my main screen and i can able to customize it and capture the selected area. is it possible to do that. and is there any api for that.
i don't think you are allowed to capture the home screen in public api. this question had similar request.
How can I take a screenshot of the iPhone home screen programmatically
UIGetScreenImage() mentioned in the answer is very useful, if you only targeting Jailbroken phones.
However, i found an open source library called "Record My screen", which claim can
Record the display even on non-jailbroken iPhones.
I personally didn't test that, since i believe Apple would somehow find that and pull the app off (that happened to several apps before). If you really interested in it, maybe you can learn something from that library.
Hope that helps you.
As my title says, is it possible to protect content in an app from being screen captured? Can you make an app notice when someone is trying to take a screenshot(photo) and replace the UI(view) with empty content ?
Short: Sort of. See this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14120549/322548
Long: You can protect your content by hiding passwords, etc. before a screenshot is taken or before your app goes to the background. However, detecting screenshots isn't as easy as it sounds. Until iOS 6 you can at least detect a screenshot being taken (see link above), but this might change with any new iOS release.
