Hello there 👋
I'm trying to use the new PHPickerViewController and I have a question: how can I detect if my app has been put in restricted mode and the user opens the picker to select an image that my app hasn't access to? To clarify: I know how to detect if I my app is limited mode, I would like to know if the selected image is not available.
The point is that I use the picker in order to retrieve the corresponding PHAsset and if my user selects in the picker a photo for which I can't retrieve the corresponding PHAsset because my app doesn't have the permission, I would like to warn him about what's going on.

Thanks in advance 🙏

You can use the asset identifier to fetch the corresponding PHAsset object and see if it's available.
