Is it possible to get the assets used in iOS built-in controls?

Question

Is it possible to get the assets (the PNGs) used in some iOS built-in controls like the slider, switch or stepper?

Answer 1

You can do this with the UIKit Artwork Extractor which runs in the iOS Simulator and produces a directory with the files on your desktop.

Answer 2

You may get them with a jailbreaked iPhone, or using an app that lets you access the iPhone filesystem from you Mac/PC, like DiskAid.

But you can also find PSD files with all the iOS GUI elements on the web, like:

Guess this will be easier...
