User Wallpaper as Background - ios

I'd like to get the user wallpaper as background with blurred effect in iOS 8, I know that a lot of people asked the same thing, but I hope there's a way to do it.
I tried to use the method of the clear background color, but it doesn't work, there is just a black background.
I'd like to get the same effect of the Newsstand application of iOS 7 and iOS 8.
I'm using Xcode 6 (Objective-C)
Regards.

Assuming I get it you want a transparent view i app like weather or safari, then there is NO public API as of yet

Blacking out or blurring screenshots/screen recordings in flutter iOS app

I would like for my flutter app to not allow screenshots for privacy. On android this is simple, I just used the flutter_windowmanager package. On iOS, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to block screenshots. However, I have run into some iOS apps like PicsArt and Facetune that you can screenshot but the image will just be completely black. Do you guys know any methods to do this? Or even just blur the final screenshot?

Swift - Change iPhone background

I was thinking about changing iPhone background using app. Is there some code in Swift to change iPhone background?
I donĀ“t mean change background of app. I mean change background totally of the iPhone.
There is no way to currently access the device's Wallpaper as of now.
Essentially Apple doesn't allow it, though jailbroken devices can access this functionality.
You also aren't allowed to set or change the wallpaper of the entire phone in third party apps. The user has to do that manually through the settings or photos app. You can add instructions as to how the user can do that in your app.

Use screen from work table in iOS

How can I get screen from work table and then use in my app. I want take this photo and apply blur for this photo and use it like background for my app. So I mean that I want it looks like in Siri
Unfortunately it isn't possible to get a screenshot of the home screen on iOS devices.
You may be able to do something with a jail token device but not on a standar ios device.
You can blur things easily, such as your views; but there is no official API for capturing the system's own Springboard background.

Use User Wallpaper as Background in App iOS 7

So, I was using the Harmony Link app for iPhone with iOS 7, and a very cool visual effect occurred, my background showed up as the background to the window and it even had parallax motion. I noticed a similar occurrence in the Newsstand app.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to import the user's background into an iOS app? (Possibly even with parallax motion?)
Thanks.
I have seen other posts which do not address this question directly.
You can make your application's window transparent as described in this post: iOS 7 transparency but be careful as this is a non-public API.

Getting iOS 5 AVPlayer to display the last frame of the video when playback completes instead of a black screen

I am making some modifications to an iPad app written by somebody else and one of the things I need to fix is that the video needs to continue to show the last frame when playback is complete rather than the screen just going black.
On the iPad simulator using iOS 4.3, this is exactly what it does already, but it just goes black on iOS 5 (on both the simulator and a device).
Any suggestions on the best way to achieve this so that it works for iOS 5? The code is using AVQueuePlayer.
I eventually found the solution:
[player setActionAtItemEnd:AVPlayerActionAtItemEndPause];
I'd already tried this and discarded it as not working, but I think I made the mistake of not setting it via the setter.
