Building a Safari (desktop) extension, one have access to screenshot from tab.visibleContentsAsDataURL(); it works brilliantly, lightning fast. Something like this: Safari Extension Taking Screenshot

On iOS, we tried:

Html2Canvas (it didn't produce good enough results); http://html2canvas.hertzen.com
a hidden UIWebview in the extension (cause troubles with memory in the extension)

What would be the equivalent on iOS inside a share extension? In other words: how would you take a screenshot in a iOS Safari Extension?

Hi, did you manage to obtain a solution? – William Ku Oct 15 '15 at 02:23
still not; we have a temporary image created by the extension for now. This makes me sad :( – jrgd Oct 22 '15 at 09:18
