I want to save the image to Photos without showing "Select Photos ...", and choose a save method by specifying PHAccessLevelAddOnly. But I still see "Select Photos ..." in the selection options. Why might this be happening?

Code Block PHAuthorizationStatus prevStatus = [PHPhotoLibrary authorizationStatus];
if (@available(iOS 14, *)) {
    prevStatus = [PHPhotoLibrary authorizationStatusForAccessLevel:PHAccessLevelAddOnly];
    if (prevStatus == PHAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
        __weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
        [PHPhotoLibrary requestAuthorizationForAccessLevel:(PHAccessLevelAddOnly) handler:^(PHAuthorizationStatus status) {
            if (status == PHAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    ...
                });
            }
        }];
        return;
    }
}

Simple answer, I just forgot to set the key in info.plist - NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription.
