Where can I find the default chevron image for iOS 7?

I am working on updating an old application that uses UIButtons, which are designed to simulate a navigation button on a navigation bar. I would like to use the default chevron image that was used for the back buttons in iOS 7.

Is this image available somewhere in the iOS 7 SDK, or elsewhere, so I can use it as a UIButton image via setImage:forState:

?

If you need to extract image from iOS, this is the best tool:

iOS-Artwork-Extractor .



I think you can extract a chevron image from it.

It is not available in any published, Apple-approved API. The following options are available:



  • See if someone else has checked out the artwork files and provide you with instructions or tools to do so.
  • Take a screenshot of the UI element, then use it yourself.
  • Enter the code to make it yourself; in the case of the chevron button on the back, this is a fairly simple image (two lines, multiple pixels, rounded caps) and won't be difficult to reproduce with multiple Core Graphics calls.
