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?

Do you mind explaining why you only want PNG images to be displayed?

We don't recommend filtering the picker using explicit file formats. It could be hard for users to understand why some of their photos aren't included in the picker.

If you want the picker to only show screenshots, you can use the .screenshots filter.

71832162 is resolved with the .playbackStyle(.animated) filter.
