Resize CoreGraphics Image

This code is from Apple WWDC 2011 Session 318 - iOS Performance in Depth and uses CoreGraphics to create thumbnails from images hosted on the server.

CGImageSourceRef src = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url);
NSDictionary *options = (CFDictionaryRef)[NSDictionary 
dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1024
forKey:(id)kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize];

CGImageRef thumbnail = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(src,0,options);
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:thumbnail];
CGImageRelease(thumbnail);
CGImageSourceRelease(src);

But this does not work, and the documents really do not help. In iOS available documentsCGImageSource CGImageSourceRef CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex

on Mac OS X v10.4 or later

How can I make this work?

EDIT

These are the compiler errors that I get:

  • Using undeclared identifier 'CGImageSourceRef'
  • Using undeclared identifier 'kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize'
  • Using undeclared identifier 'src'
  • Implicit function declaration 'CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex' invalid in C99
  • Implicit function declaration 'CGImageSourceRelease' invalid in C99
  • 'CGImageSourceCreateWithURL' C99
