Reply to Load video from PHPhotoPicker without photo library permissions?
I'm seeing some weird behavior with NSItemProvider and PHPickerViewController. For some reason loadItem fails until I've used loadFileRepresentation on that same video. itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.movie", options: nil) { url, error in guard let url = url as? URL else { return } print(FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path)) } This prints false. itemProvider.loadFileRepresentation(forTypeIdentifier: "public.movie") { url, error in print(FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path)) } This prints true. Now if I change the code to use loadItem and select the video that I just used loadFileRepresentation on, it works correctly. I would happily use loadFileRepresentation all the time, but it loads extremely slowly. ~20 seconds for a minute long video, while loadItem takes about .1 seconds for the same video. What's going on here?
