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).

Quit f.e.Photos app. Immediately reopen it. Repeat steps 1-2 again several times. App crashes without any dialog, impossible to share crash report.

Hi there. I'm stuck with the creation of files with a wide dynamic range (Smart HDR?) as iPhone 12 and later creates. They look bright on the OLED screen. What I'm trying to do currently is to create a HEIF or JPEG image with an embedded auxiliary grayscale HDR Gain Map. I have a script in Swift. It works well because I can see that AuxiliaryImageType (for HEIF) or MPImage2 for (JPEG) tag but my file still looks dull and flat. I didn't find anything in the Documentation. What might be wrong?

In my app, if I ask PHAccessLevel in .addOnly first,then in other page ask .readWirte.I can`t read my photos in my phone in this application life cycle. (cnm, why can not use chinese)

Our team has implemented PHPickerViewController to allow multiple photos to be selected. It works fine in the simulator but when tested on actual iPad we have this strange behaviour. The first time the gallery is displayed it works fine. If we try and display the gallery again it displays a window with this message “Unable to Load Items - [Try Again]”. If I tap [Try Again] or if I use our Gallery button it does display the gallery. And it keeps cycling through this behaviour. ie. every second attempt to display the gallery leads to the “Unable to Load Items” window.   Every time we display the gallery we dismiss the old instance and create/initialize a new instance of the controller. Our code is written in objective-c… -(void)initPHPickerController     {       [self dismiss];       mPHPickerController = nullref;           PHPickerConfiguration *config = [[PHPickerConfiguration alloc] init];       config.selectionLimit = 0; // 0 represents no selection limit.       config.filter = [PHPickerFilter imagesFilter];           config.preferredAssetRepresentationMode = PHPickerConfigurationAssetRepresentationModeCurrent;           PHPickerViewController *pickerViewController = [[PHPickerViewController alloc] initWithConfiguration:config];       pickerViewController.delegate = self;           mPHPickerController = pickerViewController;     }     - (void)dismiss     {       if (mPHPickerController)       {         [+mPHPickerController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];       }       ...     } Any suggestions on how to fix this ? I have seen a post on stackoverflow that this may be a bug in iOS.

【Use】 open func loadDataRepresentation(forTypeIdentifier typeIdentifier: String, completionHandler: @escaping (Data?, Error?) -> Void) -> Progress if self.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.webP.identifier) {             return try await self.loadDataRepresentation(forTypeIdentifier: UTType.webP.identifier) } At this point you can load webp Image。But it is impossible to judge this time webp through Data, because he is indistinguishable from jpeg。 extension Data {     var isWebP: Bool {         // Ensure the size of the data is large enough         // for us to properly check.         guard self.count >= 12 else {             return false         }         return withUnsafeBytes { bytes in             // The first 4 bytes are the ASCII letters "RIFF"             // Skipping 4 bytes for the file size, the next 4 bytes after             // that should read "WEBP"             if String(decoding: bytes[0..<4], as: UTF8.self) != "RIFF" ||                 String(decoding: bytes[8..<12], as: UTF8.self) != "WEBP" {                 return false             }             return true         }     }

Where is the .isEditing option???

Apologies if this has been asked. I was reviewing the transcript iOS 16 camera improvement as it relates to depth and depth maps. It’s my understanding that said models including LIDAR scanners play a big role in the resulting depth maps that are captured when taking an image. I know this is an improvement from models that rely on Truedepth cameras, but how does this play into the new Lock Screen setup? Is this effect created solely through software automations or does the presence of LIDAR and depth maps influence the results when it comes to creating the depth effect that pulls subjects to the front while allowing the background to remain in the foreground? Thanks so much in advanced!

I use PHPhotoLibrary in iOS to save JPG files to the camera roll. There is a difference in the date and time displayed in the "Photos" app depending on whether the 24-hour display setting in iOS is set to On or Off when saving. When saving with "24-hour display: Off", the date and time in the Exif of the JGP file is displayed. When saved with "24 Hour Display: On", the date and time when the file was saved is displayed. JPG files are saved with the following code. HPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({ PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromImage(atFileURL: jpgFileUrl) }, completionHandler: { (success: Bool, error: Error?) in print("success=\(success), error=\(String(describing: error))") }) Is this an iOS specification or a bug? Or is there a problem with the code? I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some information. Thank you in advance.

Will the code for the SwiftUI PhotosPicker app shown during the session be made available in the code sample area? Trying to follow along and duplicate the app, but not all of the code is visible. Thanks!

I try to get fullSizeImageURL and then calculate md5 of asset via url: var assetUrl = syncUrl(asset: asset) let assetMD5 = md5File(url: assetUrl) To get url I use requestContentEditingInput. The problem is contentEditingInput can be empty. I have had cases where my app worked on my new iphone the first few times. But after some tries, this problem was gone and contentEditingInput was always not empty. Not sure but I think it is because all assets were cached. So my questions are: Why contentEditingInput can be empty? How can to get asset url if contentEditingInput is empty? How can I clear asset photos cache to reproduce this issue if it is related to cache? Part of code which I use: extension PHAsset { func getURL(completionHandler: @escaping ((_ responseURL: URL?) -> Void)) { let options: PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions = PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions() options.canHandleAdjustmentData = { (adjustmeta: PHAdjustmentData) -> Bool in return true } options.isNetworkAccessAllowed = true self.requestContentEditingInput(with: options, completionHandler: { (contentEditingInput: PHContentEditingInput?, info: [AnyHashable: Any]) -> Void in !!!!!!contentEditingInput can be empty completionHandler(contentEditingInput?.fullSizeImageURL as URL?) }) } md5: func md5File(url: URL, isCancelled: @escaping () -> Bool) -> Data? { let bufferSize = 1024 * 1024 do { // Open file for reading: let file = try FileHandle(forReadingFrom: url) defer { file.closeFile() } // Create and initialize MD5 context: var context = CC_MD5_CTX() CC_MD5_Init(&context) // Read up to `bufferSize` bytes, until EOF is reached, and update MD5 context: while autoreleasepool(invoking: { if isCancelled() { return false } let data = file.readData(ofLength: bufferSize) if data.count > 0 { data.withUnsafeBytes { _ = CC_MD5_Update(&context, $0.baseAddress, numericCast(data.count)) } return true // Continue } else { return false // End of file } }) { } if isCancelled() { return nil } // Compute the MD5 digest: var digest: [UInt8] = Array(repeating: 0, count: Int(CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH)) _ = CC_MD5_Final(&digest, &context) return Data(digest) } catch { print("Cannot open file:", error.localizedDescription) return nil } }

Would like to use SwiftUI AsyncImage with Photos App Image that is associated with a String Name, possibly using a Core Data Model. A Picker might be used to determine which Image is associated with a user entered String Name. A List View would be used to display the saved Images and their names. Is there a way to use a Photos Image ID or path as a URL?

I've been working a while on removing duplicates in a 5k+ library. I have a decent program to find the dups and first move to a special subdirectory. I want to make a library from then make it the system library so that I can see that on all apple devices. Yes, I know the feedback site and hate it. There's no interactive help if you run beta and I've not been able to successfully back up to the shipping version.

So I sent someone a live photo (that would soon to be a wallpaper) that looks crisp on my phone but when sent to her phone she gets a blurry live wallpaper instead. My phone is the iphone 12 while hers is the iphone 13 pro max

PHPhotoLibarary.requestAuthorization(for accessLevel: PHAccessLevel, handler: @escaping (PHAuthorizationStatus) -> Void) does not invoke the completion handler. If the user selects limited photos, the handler is not called. Furthermore the limited library picker is presented for about a second then it disappears. I already have the following in the info plist <string>Photo Library access is needed to import saved photos</string> <true/>        let stat = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite)       print("Photolibrary settign: current status: \(stat)")               PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite) { status in         switch status {         case .restricted:           print("Photolibrary settign: restricted")         case .denied:           print("Photolibrary settign: denied")         case .limited:           print("Photolibrary settign: limited")         case .authorized:           print("Photolibrary settign: authorized")         case .notDetermined:           print("Photolibrary settign: not determined")         default:           break         }       }

The app is a webview where there is a form where an input file image is loaded. The problem is that when selecting an image from the camera, the app crashes. If you can upload images from Photo LIbrary and Choose File

There's only a single function under PHPickerViewControllerDelegate which is didFinishPicking according to the documentation. How do I implement dismiss for the Cancel button that comes along when tapping out with PHPickerViewController? Have no problem if continue using UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, as it comes with imagePickerControllerDidCancel . However, if I were to implement with the new PHPickerViewController that currently only have a single function, how to enable proper dismiss right on the click of Cancel button instead of just relying the swipe down to dismiss the screen. Kindly advise. Thanks.

We are a picture design company. When we use the Photos library to store pictures to albums, we encountered a large number of user album storage failure cases. The most error code is 41002, but I don't know how to fix it, or avoid it. Error Example: Error Domain=com.apple.photos.error Code=41002 "Unable to obtain assetsd XPC proxy for getPhotoKitAddServiceWithReply:. assetsd could have crashed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to obtain assetsd XPC proxy for getPhotoKitAddServiceWithReply:. assetsd could have crashed, NSUnderlyingError =0x2818a8b70 {Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.photos.service" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service on pid 0 named com.apple.photos.service}}}
