How to get only images in the camera roll using Photos Framework

Through some experimentation we discovered a hidden property not listed in the documentation (assetSource). Basically you have to do a regular fetch request, then use a predicate to filter the ones from the camera roll. This value should be 3.

Sample code:

//fetch all assets, then sub fetch only the range we need
var assets = PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithMediaType(PHAssetMediaType.Image, options: fetchOptions)

assets.enumerateObjectsUsingBlock { (obj, idx, bool) -> Void in
    results.addObject(obj)
}

var cameraRollAssets = results.filteredArrayUsingPredicate(NSPredicate(format: "assetSource == %@", argumentArray: [3]))
results = NSMutableArray(array: cameraRollAssets)
