Answer of above question for Objective-C is already write there, here is the Swift version answer of above question.

For Swift 3+

Take screenshot and then use it to display somewhere or to send over web.

extension UIImage {
    class var screenShot: UIImage? {
        let imageSize = UIScreen.main.bounds.size as CGSize;
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(imageSize, false, 0)
        guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else {return nil}
        for obj : AnyObject in UIApplication.shared.windows {
            if let window = obj as? UIWindow {
                if window.responds(to: #selector(getter: UIWindow.screen)) || window.screen == UIScreen.main {
                    // so we must first apply the layer's geometry to the graphics context
                    context.saveGState();
                    // Center the context around the window's anchor point
                    context.translateBy(x: window.center.x, y: window.center
                        .y);
                    // Apply the window's transform about the anchor point
                    context.concatenate(window.transform);
                    // Offset by the portion of the bounds left of and above the anchor point
                    context.translateBy(x: -window.bounds.size.width * window.layer.anchorPoint.x,
                                         y: -window.bounds.size.height * window.layer.anchorPoint.y);

                    // Render the layer hierarchy to the current context
                    window.layer.render(in: context)

                    // Restore the context
                    context.restoreGState();
                }
            }
        }
        guard let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() else {return nil}
        return image
    }
}

Usage of above screenshot

• Lets display above screen shot on UIImageView

  yourImageView = UIImage.screenShot
  

• Get image Data to save/send over web

  if let img = UIImage.screenShot {
      if let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(img) {
          //send this data over web or store it anywhere
      }
  }
