I'm working on an app that uses photos (including Live Photos) from the users Photo Library. I'm currently storing the localIdentifier in CoreData and everything is working great. However I wanted to see if the database was persistent when the user restored from an iCloud backup. The database is intact, however all calls to fetchAssets return no items.
let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.includeAllBurstAssets = false
options.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate", ascending: false)]
options.fetchLimit = identifiers.count
let assetResult = PHAsset.fetchAssets(withLocalIdentifiers: identifiers, options: options)
var assetArray:[PHAsset] = []
for i in 0.. let asset = assetResult[i]
assetArray.append(asset)
}
Am I missing something or is there a more persistent way of referencing photos in the users Photo Liibrary?
I am also concerend some people claim it can change between OS updates.
