Wallpaper

Explain wallpapers

Get a UIImage

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
 
@interface SBWallpaperView : UIImageView
+ (id)_desktopImage; // iOS 3
- (id)initWithOrientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation; // iOS 4
- (id)initWithOrientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation variant:(NSInteger)variant; // iOS 5-6
@end
 
@interface SBWallpaperController : NSObject
+ (id)sharedInstance;
- (SBFStaticWallpaperView *)_wallpaperViewForVariant:(NSInteger)variant;
@end
 
@interface SBFWallpaperView : UIView
@end
 
@interface SBFStaticWallpaperView : SBFWallpaperView
- (UIImage *)wallpaperImage;
@end
 
UIImage *wallpaperForVariant(NSInteger variant) {
	UIImage *img = nil;
	if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber <= 500.0) { // iOS 3
		SBWallpaperView *wallpaperView = [objc_getClass("SBWallpaperView") _desktopImage];
		img = [[wallpaperView.image copy] autorelease];
		[wallpaperView release];
	} else if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber <= 600.0) { // iOS 4
		SBWallpaperView *wallpaperView = [[objc_getClass("SBWallpaperView") alloc] initWithOrientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
		img = [[wallpaperView.image copy] autorelease];
		[wallpaperView release];
	} else if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber <= 800.0) { // iOS 5-6
		SBWallpaperView *wallpaperView = [[objc_getClass("SBWallpaperView") alloc] initWithOrientation:UIImageOrientationUp variant:variant];
		img = [[wallpaperView.image copy] autorelease];
		[wallpaperView release];
	} else { // iOS 7+
		SBFStaticWallpaperView *wallpaperView = [[objc_getClass("SBWallpaperController") sharedInstance] _wallpaperViewForVariant:variant];
		img = [[wallpaperView.wallpaperImage copy] autorelease];
	}
	return img;
}

Note: code for iOS 3-4 versions were not tested and built from header comprehension. For example, on iOS 4, -(id)uncomposedImage could be providing the real image while the .image property is the composed wallpaper
