I trying to figure out how to make an app transparent. In the weather app on the iPhone they have a table view that is completely transparent were you can see the user current iPhone background. I searched on how to do it but no luck. However I came across this question on stack overflow the only thing is that its really outdated. I wanted to know if this is possible now without a private API. Here is a screen shot of what I'm talking about.

You can see that the weather app is using my current iPhone background as the their background. I tried setting the view to clear color but always end up with a complete black screen. Would really appreciate the help. :)

@Daij-Djan I've read the comments. I've tried some of the methods but no luck still. Also those question were ask like 4 years ago so I'm not sure. How would you be able to do this or is this an advance topic? Cause I am new to coding. – Luis Ramirez Feb 07 '18 at 07:18

Read some where that it was removed from IOS7. – Luis Ramirez Feb 07 '18 at 07:24
I think you just need to set background image to UIView and then need to add UI element on it – Ashok Londhe Feb 07 '18 at 07:33
I have recently done it. – Ashok Londhe Feb 07 '18 at 07:33
then show us how ashok. above comment made NO sense im afraid. my vote is that it still valid what was said 4 yrs ago - which is why I closed this :) – Daij-Djan Feb 07 '18 at 16:01
