Question

Is there an iPhone SDK API that I can use to get the current wallpaper image? I would like to use this image in a game.

Answer 1

As far as I'm aware, there is currently no API that enables you to do this.

Answer 2

There is no API to do this, but you may be able to load /User/Library/LockBackground.jpg using +[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:]

Note: this file won't exist if the user hasn't changed from the default "globe" wallpaper

Answer 3

There is a private API, usual App Store rejection disclaimer applies

[UIImage defaultDesktopImage]
