Is there an API for the iOS 7 blurring effects? A quick search in the API Diffs wasn't succesful.

I’m gonna ask tomorrow at the lab, but it seems there’s nothing :-/

I'm pretty sure I heard it mentioned that it would be in the next beta.

awesome!! I hope it’s true, it’s just weird they didn’t even mention it on the UIKit sessions

Actually it was a method available in B2 for taking a snapshot of a UIView hierarchy, to be used with a filter.

yeah,

talked about that method on tuesday, but what’s the blurring? CIFilter?

You can use a CIFilter, sure. We have some Accelerate-based sample code up. See Implementing Engaging UI on Fri.

so there’s no public API for doing this in real time :( I filled rdar://14158344

you know, a lot of the places where it looks like we're doing it in real time, it's static with clever tricks.
