Enhancement request: Allows 3rd party to import into the "Shared Photo Library"

iOS 16 Beta 3 introduces the "Shared Photo Library". PhotoKit however currently lacks any functionality to import photos/videos into the "Shared Photo Library"

It would be welcome, if PHAssetCreationRequest could be extended with e.g. a property "destination" that defaults to the personal library, but can also be set to the shared library.

Scenarios:

  • 3rd party camera apps that should be able to import into the "Shared Library"
  • Any type of family orientated apps that should be able to import into the "Shared Library"

Thanks for the feedback!

I duplicated your bug report (FB10786671). 3rd party camera apps will definitely be able to add media into the "Share Library".
