Can I use the default UIBarButton icons provided by Apple in other assets of my app?

Like in UIButton or a UIImageView etc..

If so how do I do that using the StoryBoard or in a Xib

I am able to use the default icons inside UIBarButton items but cannot look them up in normal buttons . A solution using Storyboard would be really nice

No you cannot use UIBarButtonItem on other as subview like UIButton. UIBarButtonItem can only over UINavigationBar.

In order to use them you need to extract them using a handy little app called (fittingly enough) iOS Artwork Extractor. I use it all the time when I want to mimic iOS system behaviours.

Download the Xcode project at:

https://github.com/0xced/iOS-Artwork-Extractor

Or another way:

The Other.artwork file is in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/ (you need the SDK).

Use the "iPhoneShop-1.3.jar" program -- available currently here to extract all of the images into a directory.

java -jar iPhoneShop-1.3.jar ARTWORK Other.artwork EXPORT Other
