I'm traing to save a GIF image located in temp file already created with Regift code.

Regift: https://github.com/matthewpalmer/Regift

The thing is that after saving with PHPhotoLibrary the GIF become a still image.

In other questions there's answers that refeer AssetsLibrary but this has been deprecated by Apple and doesn't work for iOS 10.

Questions:

Save GIF image from URL to Camera Roll

How to write animated GIF to iOS camera roll?

None of this answers works... I just want to convert an image to gif and save it to camera roll... Any help?

Thanks

You can save GIF via PHPhotoLibrary.

PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
    let request = PHAssetCreationRequest.forAsset()
    request.addResource(with: .photo, fileURL: 'YOUR_GIF_URL', options: nil)
}) { (success, error) in
    if let error = error {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    } else {
        print("GIF has saved")
    }
}

    This works great. But I have to change to use `request.addResource(with: .photo, data: data, options: nil)` to prevent it throws `NSCocoaErrorDomain`. – Kimi Chiu Apr 20 '19 at 16:43

Gif can be save through Activity ViewController. Give url in activity controller and save through that you will get gif in camera roll [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DdXUIjuAk0&feature=youtu.be]

let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(
        activityItems: [url],
        applicationActivities: nil)

    activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = view
    activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = view.frame
    present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
