Objective-C: get scaled cropped image from UIScrollView

Question

SCENARIO

I am working on a photo sharing application. The application should allow users to crop the image before sending the image to the server. I use UIScrollViewwith the subtext UIImageViewthat contains the image that I want the user to crop.

WHAT I GOT

I tried to do this with several solutions in StackOverflow, but they require taking a snapshot UIScrollViewafter scaling the user. The reason this will not work is because when the user takes a screen shot on the iPhone 5 (320x320, a perfect square across the width of the screen) when this photo is downloaded and displayed on the iPhone 6 Plus (a much larger screen size), the image will be uneven.

Question

How do you get an image that can be 3000x3000 zoomed in UIScrollViewand extract an image that is a frame size UIScrollView(320x320) but scales to 640x640 without losing image resolution?
