Answer 1

let imageWidth = inputCGImage.width
let imageHeight = inputCGImage.height

let imageRect = NSRect(
    origin: .zero,
    size: CGSize(width: imageWidth, height: imageHeight)
)

context.draw(inputCGImage, in: imageRect)

let outputImageRef = context.makeImage()!

let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.desktopDirectory, .userDomainMask, true) as [String]

let destinationURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: paths.first!).appendingPathComponent("output.png")!

guard let destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL(destinationURL as CFURL, kUTTypePNG, 1, nil) else {
    throw HoleFillingError.CoreGraphicsError
}

CGImageDestinationAddImage(destination, outputImageRef, nil)
CGImageDestinationFinalize(destination)

Answer 2

CGImageRef imgRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);

UIImage* img = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imgRef];

CGImageRelease(imgRef);

Answer 3

UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); 
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[imageData writeToFile:@"image.png"];

Answer 4

Call UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext to get an UIImage.
Then call UIImagePNGRepresentation to get an NSData of the UIImage encoded in PNG.
Finally, call -writeToFile:… to save the NSData.
