Is there a framework I can use to draw lines with touch. Basically I want to add ability for a customer to sign on iPad/iPhone and capture it as an image.
Any help much
you can meet your requirement by using core graphics available in UIKIT framework.
i had a similar requirement in my application with a different use ,if needed i can provide you the code.
