Share MKMapView screenshot

I have a MKMapView and I would like to take a screenshot of it and share it to a social network, for example to Facebook. I've found a nice way to make the screenshot, using MKMapSnapshotter (which is available starting with iOS 7), but my question is: Am I able to share a screenshot of MKMapView? Does Apple allow this?

I found this similar question, but there is not given any clear answer.

Solution

  • Try Google Maps SDK for iOS: Documentation

    And to make the screenshot use the following code:

    CGRect rect = [captureView bounds];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size,YES,0.0f);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[captureView.layer renderInContext:context];   
UIImage *capturedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
