thanks, but no. i wanted to provide the user the possibility to set the background image. i know this cant be done - so i wanted to send the user to the built in photos application.

A:
The Photos app doesn't appear to register any URL schemes that other apps can use. There's a pretty well-established pattern in other system apps (e.g. Safari) of “saving an image” resulting in that image being placed in the user's camera roll; I'd recommend just sticking with that expected behavior, and perhaps using an alert to direct the user to look there for your app's exported image.

saving and alerting works already fine. so i think i just have to tell the client we don't need the "as Backround" button anymore ;)
