I've tried two variations of the script as below and they both have the same results - "taking" a screen shot but adding only a white image to the photo library. Anyone have a guess as to what is going on?

//THIS WORKED THEN STOPPED WORKING
		UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.window.bounds.size);
		[self.window.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
		UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
		UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
		UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil);

		//THIS IS NOT WORKING EITHER
		CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
		UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(screenRect.size);
		
		CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
		[[UIColor blackColor] set];
		CGContextFillRect(ctx, screenRect);
		
		[self.window.layer renderInContext:ctx];
		
		UIImage *screenImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
		UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(screenImage, nil, nil, nil);
		UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

i made a little modification and it is working here

	CGRect contextRect  = CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200);// whatever you need
	UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(contextRect.size);	

	[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
	UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
	UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
	UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil);

But the resulting image is starting from origin (0,0) of screen whether I'm giving anything for x and y. But height and width are working as defined.
thanx for the code anyway...
