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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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))") } } } } } }

Hello, We are trying to take pictures or grab frames using an iOS Phone 15 Pro. The items are moving down a conveyor belt. All we need to do is grab a photo of the item and crop it and save it as a jpg. Any ideas on what the best way to accomplish this is? Thanks!

Hello, I'm currently investigating the possibility of accessing my photos stored on my iCloud via a dedicated API, in order to create a photo portfolio. However, after extensive research, I haven't found any documentation or public API allowing such access. I wonder if there are any future plans to make such an API available to third-party developers. I would be grateful if you could provide me with information regarding the possibility of accessing an API for Apple Photos or any other solution you might suggest. Thank you for your attention and assistance. Yours sincerely Owen

Is it possible to retrieve image metadata without requesting additional permission with the new SwiftUI PhotosPicker? I can access metadata when using picker( _ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) by using itemProvider. But for PhotosPicker, it seems that it's only possible by firstly retrieving PHAsset from PhotosPickerItem, and then by using requestContentEditingInput. Which require authorization for specific photo

Is it possible to access "From my mac" photos/PHAssetCollection through PhotoKit in iOS? "From my mac" photos/videos are media synced from a mac where iCloud Photos are turned off on the iOS device, like what we did in the ole' days before iCloud Photos. I have set up an iOS device with "From my mac" albums present in Photos.app, but in my own app I don't seem to be able to access those collections/photos through PhotoKit using all the defined PHAssetCollectionTypes. Are these directly synced photos simply not available through PhotoKit and you would have to revert to the deprecated ALAssetLibrary?

Dear Experts, PHAsset.creationDate is an NSDate, which does not have a timezone associated with it, right? Consider a photo viewer app. If I take a photo of the sunrise at 0600 local time while I am away, when I get home and view the photo in the app, I believe I want the timestamp shown with the photo to be 0600. Do you agree? But NSDate is just a time-point, and I don't think Foundation (or anything else in iOS) has a type that combines a time-point with a time zone. Nor does PHAsset have any other useful attributes - unless I were to determine the time zone from the location! Am I missing anything?

First, App has linked with PhotosUI and Photos. And, this problem never happened when complied with Xcode14.1 and Swift. New APP is compiled with Xcode15.0.1. Code is not changed. Step: Set access "Selected Photos" for APP. Restart APP. Try to access photos with PHPhotoLibrary functions , and then a system dialog appears. There are two buttons: "Select More Photos..." and "Keep Current Selection". Choose "Keep Current Selection". (If choose "Select More Photos...", the app will not crash.) Call "presentLimitedLibraryPicker(from controller: UIViewController)" Crash log: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[PHPhotoLibrary presentLimitedLibraryPickerFromViewController:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1064d66f0'

Environment: iOS 16 beta 2, beta 3. iPhone 11 Pro, 12 mini Steps to reproduce: Subscribe to Photo Library changes via PHPhotoLibraryChangeObserver, put some logs to track inserted/deleted objects: func photoLibraryDidChange(_ changeInstance: PHChange) { if let changeDetails = changes.changeDetails(for: allPhotosFetchResult) { for insertion in changeDetails.insertedObjects { print("🥶 INSERTED: ", insertion.localIdentifier) } for deletion in changeDetails.removedObjects { print("🥶 DELETED: ", deletion.localIdentifier) } } } Save a photo to camera roll with PHAssetCreationRequest Go to the Photo Library, delete the newly saved photo Come back to the app and watch the logs: 🥶 INSERTED:  903933C3-7B83-4212-8DF1-37C2AD3A923D/L0/001 🥶 DELETED:  39F673E7-C5AC-422C-8BAA-1BF865120BBF/L0/001 Expected result: localIdentifier of the saved and deleted asset is the same string in both logs. In fact: It's different. So it appears that either the localIdentifier of an asset gets changed after successful saving, or it's a bug in the Photos framework in iOS 16. I've checked - in iOS 15 it works fine (IDs in logs match).
