Override iOS screenshots saving method

open the Tweak.xm file using your favorite code editor.

hook to a certain method from the operating system.

%hook SBScreenShotter
- (void)saveScreenshot:(BOOL)screenshot
{

%orig; NSLog(@“saveScreenshot: is called”);

}
%end

Note you can choose wether or not the original function should be called, for example:

%hook SBScreenShotter
- (void)saveScreenshot:(BOOL)screenshot
{
    NSLog(@"saveScreenshot: is called");
}
%end

will override the function without calling the original one, thus casing screenshots not being saved.
