Adding screenshot to tweet

I would like to add a screenshot to a tweet sheet. I have written some code but it does not seem to be working. It launches the tweet sheet but does not take the screenshot.

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.bounds.size, self.view.opaque, 0.0);
    [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    UIImage*theImage=UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    NSData*theImageData=UIImageJPEGRepresentation(theImage, 1.0 ); 
    [theImageData writeToFile:@"example.jpeg" atomically:YES];

    TWTweetComposeViewController *tweetsheet = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];
    [tweetsheet setInitialText:@"Initial text for tweet"];
    [self presentModalViewController:tweetsheet animated:YES];
    [tweetsheet addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"example.jpeg"]];

why not just add the image captured in the graphics context instead of saving it?

[tweetsheet addImage:theImage];

The device is not capturing the screenshot.
