iOS 14 Photo caption - how to access in metadata??
I use the following code to parse Photo metadata and this works well. However, I am unable to pull the new iOS 14 "caption" from this metadata (it worked in early iOS 14 betas, but has since stopped working in the GM.) Does anyone know how I can get the caption data from a PHAsset? Thanks! Stephen         let options = PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions()         options.isNetworkAccessAllowed = true         asset.requestContentEditingInput(with: options, completionHandler: {(contentEditingInput, _) -> Void in             if let url = contentEditingInput?.fullSizeImageURL {                 let fullImage = CIImage(contentsOf: url)                                  // get all the metadata                 self.allPhotoMetadata = fullImage?.properties ?? [:]                                  // {TIFF}                 if let tiffDict = self.allPhotoMetadata["{TIFF}"] as? [String:Any] {                     if tiffDict["Make"] != nil {                         self.cameraData[cameraKeys.make] = tiffDict["Make"]                     }                     if tiffDict["Model"] != nil {                         self.cameraData[cameraKeys.model] = tiffDict["Model"]                     }                     if tiffDict["ImageDescription"] != nil {                         self.imageData[imageKeys.caption] = tiffDict["ImageDescription"]                     }                 }                                  // {IPTC}                 if let iptcDict = self.allPhotoMetadata["{IPTC}"] as? [String:Any] {                     // if we didn't find a caption in the TIFF dict, try to get it from IPTC data                     // first try, Caption/Abtract, then ArtworkContentDescription                     if self.imageData[imageKeys.caption] == nil {                         if iptcDict["Caption/Abstract"] != nil {                             self.imageData[imageKeys.caption] = iptcDict["ArtworkContentDescription"]                         } else if iptcDict["ArtworkContentDescription"] != nil {                             self.imageData[imageKeys.caption] = iptcDict["ArtworkContentDescription"]                         }                     }                 }             }         })     }
