How to read the latitude and longitude from a taken photo?

Could you post your present code ?

That's a long time I did this.

Some API may have changed a bit since.

But if that can help, here is some code extract.

            var phAsset : PHAsset?
            var stopSearch : Bool = false   // 24.9.2017 nom changé
           
            let optionsForFetch = PHFetchOptions()
            optionsForFetch.includeHiddenAssets = true

                let fetchResultForPhotostream = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(with: PHAssetCollectionType.album, subtype: PHAssetCollectionSubtype.albumMyPhotoStream, options: nil)
                if fetchResultForPhotostream.count > 0 {
                    let photostream = fetchResultForPhotostream[0]
                    let fetchResultForPhotostreamAssets = PHAsset.fetchAssets(in: photostream, options: optionsForFetch)
                    if fetchResultForPhotostreamAssets.count >= 0 { 
                        stopSearch = false
                        for i in stride(from: 0, through: fetchResultForPhotostreamAssets.count-1, by: 1) where !stopSearch {   
                            let phAssetBeingCompared = fetchResultForPhotostreamAssets[i]
                            if phAssetBeingCompared.localIdentifier.range(of: localIDFragment) != nil { 
                                phAsset = phAssetBeingCompared
                                stopSearch = true
                            }
                            if stopSearch { // Found the image
                                let photoLocation = phAsset!.location     // This is the location

Thanks for your answer!

As you thought already, some API has changed unfortunatly.

For the moment i'm not getting a solution but I will look further in the PHAsset.

The code I was using was:

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
        if let chosenImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
            topview.image = chosenImage //show it in my view
            let metadata = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.mediaMetadata] as! String
            print(metadata)
        }

But this doesn't show a location/longitude or latitude.

I just want to take a photo and place it on a map.

Here you get only the image.

That's why I needed to use PHAssets to get access to metadata.

Here all the metadata

and to access programmatically

Note that PHAssets is now replaced by ALAssets

Thanks!

I will give this a try.
