Trying to take a screenshot to camera roll without a navigation/status bar in the image - Swift 3, Xcode 8, IOS

Question

Using: Swift 3, Xcode 8, IOS

My screenshot works fine, I just need to omit the navigation bar from the image in my camera roll. This is what I have so far:

@IBAction func buttonAction(_ sender: UIButton) {

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(view.bounds.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
view.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image!, nil, nil, nil)        
}

You know the height of the navigation bar, so why not just crop it out before you save the image? — matt, Feb 15 '17 at 20:06
Lots of ways. See my answer here, for example: http://stackoverflow.com/a/40820337/341994 — matt, Feb 15 '17 at 20:21

Simply cropping out the status bar before saving would seem like the ideal solution. Here is another post with someone doing this.
