Blur classes in UIKit missing

Anybody tried blur effects in iOS 7 presented at the WWDC 2013 - session 226: Implementing Engaging UI on iOS?

I tried to use the code snippets mentioned at time 15:00:

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, NULL, 0);
[view drawViewHierarchyInRect:rect];
.
.
.

etc...BUT the code won't run, because it calls methods and classes that are not even in the API.

Plus I downloaded the sample project - Running with a Snap. That project doesn't even compile because the classes imported are simply not in the there. Example project...seriously...

Anybody knows if there is ANY way how to do the blurs in iOS 7 without using 3rd party frameworks?

They haven't implemented the api for it yet. A neat temporary solution has been found in the mean time that involves stealing the background layer of UIToolbar.

You can find the solution here bundled up in a nice class
