iOS 16 Beta 3 introduces the "Shared Photo Library". PhotoKit however currently lacks any functionality to import photos/videos into the "Shared Photo Library"

It would be welcome, if PHAssetCreationRequest could be extended with e.g. a property "destination" that defaults to the personal library, but can also be set to the shared library.

Scenarios:

3rd party camera apps that should be able to import into the "Shared Library"
Any type of family orientated apps that should be able to import into the "Shared Library"

I duplicated your bug report (FB10786671). 3rd party camera apps will definitely be able to add media into the "Share Library".

Any news on this issue now that iOS 16.1 is released? We had already some customers asking for "Importing into the Shared Library" and "Filtering between all photos, shared library and personal library".
