Creating Subfolder inside a folder using PhotoKit

Question

I understand how one can create a folder programmatically using Apple's PhotoKit API and add Photos to the folder.

    PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
        let req = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetCollection(withTitle: "FolderName")

    }, completionHandler: { success, error in
        if !success { print("Error creating album: \(String(describing: error)).") }
    })

Is there a way to create subfolders inside this folder using PhotoKit?

At present Apple is exposed api for create single album. Even manually you can't create a folder inside another folder from the device.

Call the creationRequestForCollectionList(withTitle:) method to create a new asset collection.

Call the deleteCollectionLists(_:) method to delete existing asset collections.

Call the init(for:) or init(for:childCollections:) method to modify a collection’s metadata or its list of child collections.
