Answer 1

First of all you need to enumerate the whole AssetGroup Then check every asset for 2 things:

1) For checking if the Asset is an image, query

[[asset valueForProperty:@"ALAssetPropertyType"] isEqualToString:@"ALAssetTypePhoto"]

2) if 1) is true then continue the check, if it is a PNG like this:

[[[asset defaultRepresentation] UTI] isEqualToString:@"public.png"]

Answer 2

Without using NSString:

[[asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] isEqual:ALAssetTypeVideo]
