Hello! I'm trying to save videos asynchronously. I've already used performChanges without the completionHandler, but it didn't work. Can you give me an example? Consider that the variable with the file URL is named fileURL. What would this look like asynchronously?

Hello, I am experiencing an unexpected issue related to PhotosKit, where an occasional crash is occurring in an area it shouldn't.

When I embedded a PhotosPickerView() in popover, it won't works: struct PhotoPickerTest: View { @State private var selectedPhotoItem: PhotosPickerItem? @State var isTaped: Bool = false var body: some View { Button("", systemImage: "plus") { isTaped = true } .popover(isPresented: $isTaped) { PhotoPickerView() } } func PhotoPickerView() -&gt; some View { PhotosPicker(selection: $selectedPhotoItem) { Image(systemName: "photo") } } } but if I just replace "popover" to "sheet", it works fine: struct PhotoPickerTest: View { @State private var selectedPhotoItem: PhotosPickerItem? @State var isTaped: Bool = false var body: some View { Button("", systemImage: "plus") { isTaped = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isTaped) { PhotoPickerView() } } func PhotoPickerView() -&gt; some View { PhotosPicker(selection: $selectedPhotoItem) { Image(systemName: "photo") } } } I think it's a bug, and bothered me a lot, hope apple engineers can fix it.

Hello, We have a Photo Vault app. We were hiding users' photos behind a semi-functional calculator. But after rejection, we thought "decoy functionality" meant we needed to remove this fake calculator feature. We removed it, and tried many things to solve this issue, but couldn't understand what Apple wants us to change. We've been trying to contact Apple for more details, but they keep sending the same message every time. Helps appreciated. Here is the rejection message: . Your app uses public APIs in an unapproved manner, which does not comply with guideline 2.5.1 of the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, we found that your app uses a decoy functionality to hide a user’s photos, which is not an appropriate use of the Photos API. Since there is no accurate way of predicting how an API may be modified and what effects those modifications may have, Apple does not permit unapproved uses of public APIs in App Store apps. Next Steps Please revise your app to ensure that documented APIs are used in the manner prescribed by Apple. It would be appropriate to remove any features in your app that use a decoy functionality to hide a user's photos from your app. If there are no alternatives for providing the functionality your app requires, you can use Feedback Assistant to submit an enhancement request.

**does anyone know what this is, means, or is affiliated to ? **

I'm running this SwiftUI sample app for photos without any modifications except for adding my developer profile, which is necessary to build it. When I tap on the thumbnail to see the photo library (after granting access to my photo library), I see that some of the thumbnails are stuck in a loading state, and when I tap on thumbnails, I only see a low-resolution image (the thumbnail), not the full-resolution image that should load. In the console I can see this error that occurs when tapping on a thumbnail to see the full-resolution image: CachedImageManager requestImage error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (PHPhotosErrorDomain error 3164.) When I make a few modifications necessary to run the app as a native macOS app, all the thumbnails load immediately, and clicking on them reveals the full-resolution images.

Even with sample code from Apple, the same warning forever.

var config = PHPickerConfiguration() config.filter = PHPickerFilter.images I want only 'png' files to be displayed when the PHPickerViewController photo list is opened. I've read this post : https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/687415 In this post, it is mentioned that filtering image formats by PHPickerConfiguration is not possible (2 years ago). Is it still not possible? Has issue 71832162 not been resolved?

From IOS 17. Have an issue when saving video and reading it from PHPickerViewController. Video become into jpeg file Code save video and I saw reason because i changed creationDate. But IOS 16 no bug here doVertifyAccessAblum() { DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async { if let url = URL(string: videoURL), let urlData = NSData(contentsOf: url) { let galleryPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]; let filePath="\(galleryPath)/\(url.lastPathComponent).mp4" DispatchQueue.main.async { urlData.write(toFile: filePath, atomically: true) PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({ let changeRequest = PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideo(atFileURL: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)) changeRequest?.creationDate = Date() }) { success, error in LOGGING.debug("Save video with status: success=\(success) error=\(String(describing: error))") } } } } } }

My app uses PHLivePhoto.request to generate live photos, but memory leaks if I use a custom targetSize. PHLivePhoto.request(withResourceFileURLs: [imageUrl, videoUrl], placeholderImage: nil, targetSize: targetSize, contentMode: .aspectFit) {[weak self] (livePhoto, info) in Change targetSize to CGSizeZero, problem resolved. PHLivePhoto.request(withResourceFileURLs: [imageUrl, videoUrl], placeholderImage: nil, targetSize: CGSizeZero, contentMode: .aspectFit) {[weak self] (livePhoto, info) in

In my app I get a UIImage for a PHAsset via PHImageManager.requestImage(for:targetSize:contentMode:options:resultHandler:). I directly display that image in a UIImageView that has preferredImageDynamicRange set to .high. The problem is I do not see the high dynamic range. I see the HDRDemo23 sample code uses PhotosPicker to get a UIImage from Data through UIImageReader whose config enables prefersHighDynamicRange. Is there a way to support HDR when using the Photos APIs to request display images? And is there support for PHLivePhoto displayed in PHLivePhotoView retrieved via PHImageManager.requestLivePhoto?

Using the new inline PhotosPicker style in iOS 17, it isn't made clear how to handle the cancel button's input, and i cannot seem to find an answer in the documentation. PhotosPicker( "Select picture", selection: $selected, selectionBehavior: .default, photoLibrary: .shared() ) .photosPickerStyle(.inline) Does anybody have a solution or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?

The sample code in the Apple documentation found in  PHCloudIdentifier does not compile in xCode 13.2.1. Can the interface for identifier conversion be clarified so that the answer values are more accessible/readable. The values are 'hidden' inside a Result enum It was difficult (for me) to rewrite the sample code because I made the mistake of interpreting the Result type as a tuple. Result type is really an enum. Using the Result type as the return from library.cloudIdentifierMappings(forLocalIdentifiers: ) and .localIdentifierMappings( for: ) puts the actual mapped identifiers inside the the enum where they need additional access via a .stringValue message or an evaluation of an element of the result enum. For others finding the same compile issue, here is a working version of the sample code. This compiles in xCode 13.2.1. func localId2CloudId(localIdentifiers: [String]) -> [String] {         var mappedIdentifiers = [String]()        let library = PHPhotoLibrary.shared()         let iCloudIDs = library.cloudIdentifierMappings(forLocalIdentifiers: localIdentifiers)         for aCloudID in iCloudIDs {           let cloudResult: Result = aCloudID.value             // Result is an enum .. not a tuple             switch cloudResult {                 case .success(let success):                     let newValue = success.stringValue                     mappedIdentifiers.append(newValue)                 case .failure(let failure):                     // do error notify to user                       }         }         return mappedIdentifiers     } ``` swift func func cloudId2LocalId(assetCloudIdentifiers: [PHCloudIdentifier]) -> [String] {             // patterned error handling per documentation         var localIDs = [String]()         let localIdentifiers: [PHCloudIdentifier: Result<String, Error>]  = PHPhotoLibrary.shared() .localIdentifierMappings(                   for: assetCloudIdentifiers)         for cloudIdentifier in assetCloudIdentifiers {             guard let identifierMapping = localIdentifiers[cloudIdentifier] else {                 print("Failed to find a mapping for \(cloudIdentifier).")                 continue             }             switch identifierMapping {                 case .success(let success):                     localIDs.append(success)                 case .failure(let failure) :                     let thisError = failure as? PHPhotosError                     switch thisError?.code {                         case .identifierNotFound:                             // Skip the missing or deleted assets.                             print("Failed to find the local identifier for \(cloudIdentifier). \(String(describing: thisError?.localizedDescription)))")                         case .multipleIdentifiersFound:                             // Prompt the user to resolve the cloud identifier that matched multiple assets.                             print("Found multiple local identifiers for \(cloudIdentifier). \(String(describing: thisError?.localizedDescription))") //                            if let selectedLocalIdentifier = promptUserForPotentialReplacement(with: thisError.userInfo[PHLocalIdentifiersErrorKey]) { //                                localIDs.append(selectedLocalIdentifier)                         default:                             print("Encountered an unexpected error looking up the local identifier for \(cloudIdentifier). \(String(describing: thisError?.localizedDescription))")                     }               }             }         return localIDs     }

I have enabled runtime concurrency warnings to check for future problems concerning concurrency: Build Setting / Other Swift Flags: -Xfrontend -warn-concurrency -Xfrontend -enable-actor-data-race-checks When trying to call the async form of PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges{} I get the following runtime warning: warning: data race detected: @MainActor function at ... was not called on the main thread in the line containing performChanges. My sample code inside a default Xcode multi platform app template is as follows: import SwiftUI import Photos @MainActor class FotoChanger{     func addFotos() async throws{         await PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .addOnly)         try! await PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges{             let data = NSDataAsset(name: "Swift")!.data             let creationRequest = PHAssetCreationRequest.forAsset()             creationRequest.addResource(with: .photo, data: data, options: PHAssetResourceCreationOptions())         }     } } struct ContentView: View {     var body: some View {         ProgressView()             .task{                 try! await FotoChanger().addFotos()             }     } } You would have to have a Swift data asset inside the asset catalog to run the above code, but the error can even be recreated if the data is invalid. But what am I doing wrong? I have not found a way to run perform changes, the block or whatever causes the error on the main thread. PS: This is only test code to show the problem, don't mind the forced unwraps.

For PHPickerViewController, we know we can perform simple filtering by var config = PHPickerConfiguration() config.filter = PHPickerFilter.images But, how about we only want to show images with format JPG & PNG, but excluding GIF? This is because our app doesn't support GIF. Is it possible to do so?
