i don't think you are allowed to capture the home screen in public api. this question had similar request.

How can I take a screenshot of the iPhone home screen programmatically

UIGetScreenImage() mentioned in the answer is very useful, if you only targeting Jailbroken phones.

However, i found an open source library called "Record My screen", which claim can

Record the display even on non-jailbroken iPhones.

I personally didn't test that, since i believe Apple would somehow find that and pull the app off (that happened to several apps before). If you really interested in it, maybe you can learn something from that library.

Hope that helps you.
