it works in simulator as expected, on desktop it shows on screen but will not save. I have tried picture directory and Documents directory.

It works for me.  The system.DocumentsDirectory for your app is 

~/Library/Application Support/holmesTest

The contents there include Application Support, Documents and tmp. Inside the Documents folder is a file named entireGroup.png and it contains the contents of the group.

We had an engineer working with some people last year on figuring out how to write to public directories. I believe there are some entitlements that need to be added to the provisioning profile that you use to build the desktop app.  You can search the forums, or use Google to search them and see if you can find some of these previous posts.

I think this is the relevant thread:
