simple CIFilter to make all black pixels alpha 0

Is there a simple way in the newer iOS versions to make all black pixels transparent for an image? I see a whole bunch of super complicated stuff online on how to do this for colors other than black involving color cube mapping etc, but it seems like it should be a 1 line filter operation. Any ideas from the Apple experts?
