IOS - Saved image not showing up on Photos app

I am making an iOS app that saves an image of given URL. I used the following code.

- (IBAction)save:(id)sender {
      UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:photoUrl]]];

      NSLog(@"%f,%f",image.size.width,image.size.height);

      // Let's save the file into Document folder.
      NSString *docDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];

      NSLog(@"saving jpg");
      NSString *jpegFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/test.jpg",docDir];
      NSData *data2 = [NSData dataWithData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0f)];//1.0f = 100% quality
      [data2 writeToFile:jpegFilePath atomically:YES];

      NSLog(@"saving image done");
}

The image is saved successfully after calling this method. Since I use iPhone simulator, I can see the image is saved my local Library folder. However, when I open Photos (iPhone navie app) from the simulator, it doesn't detect the image I just saved. When I save an image from Safari and open Photos app, it detects the image correctly. But why can't it detect the image I saved thru my ios app? Any solutions?

How come/why do you think or assume any image written to a random location should be known about by the Photos app? That's just nonsense. Use the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum() function instead.
