I have added NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription as well as NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription in info.plist file of my project. While trying to create album or add image to photo library following error is coming
This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
I have tried some swift library like PhotosHelper.as well to do that but still I am facing same Issue
Following is code that I am following
import UIKit
import Photos
class PhotoLibraryManager
{
private class func fetchAlbumWithName(albumName:String)->PHAssetCollection?
{
let fetchPredicate = PHFetchOptions()
fetchPredicate.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "title == '" + albumName + "'")
let fetchResult = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(with: PHAssetCollectionType.album, subtype: PHAssetCollectionSubtype.albumRegular, options: fetchPredicate)
return fetchResult.firstObject
}
/**
This function requests for authorization to use the photo gallery and adds the image in the album both of which are specified.If the album does not exist it creates a new one and adds the image in that
- Parameters:
- image:The image to be inserted
- albumName:The name of the album in which the image is to be inserted
*/
class func saveImageToPhone(image:UIImage,albumName:String)
{
PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization({(status:PHAuthorizationStatus)->Void in
switch status
{
case PHAuthorizationStatus.authorized:
insertImageAfterAuthorization(image: image,albumName: albumName)
default:
print("Unable To Access Photo Library")
}
})
}
/**

- Parameters:
- image:The image to be inserted
- albumName:The name of the album in which the image is to be inserted
*/
private class func insertImageAfterAuthorization(image:UIImage,albumName:String)
{
let album = fetchAlbumWithName(albumName: albumName)
guard let albumToBeInserted = album else{
print("Creating A New Album \(albumName)")
PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetCollection(withTitle: albumName)
}, completionHandler: {(success:Bool,error:Error?)->Void in
guard let errorObj = error else{
let album = fetchAlbumWithName(albumName: albumName)
guard let createdAlbum = album else{
print("Album Not Created")
return
}
addImageIntoAlbum(image: image,album: createdAlbum)
return
}
print(errorObj.localizedDescription)
return
})
return
}
addImageIntoAlbum(image: image,album: albumToBeInserted)
}
/**

- Parameters:

*/
private class func addImageIntoAlbum(image:UIImage,album:PHAssetCollection)
{
PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
let imgCreationRequest = PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAsset(from: image)
print(imgCreationRequest)
let albumRequest = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest(for: album)
guard let albumSpecificationRequest = albumRequest , let placeholderObjForImg = imgCreationRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset else{
print("Image Could Not Be Added")
return
}
let arrAlbumSpecificationRequest:NSArray = [placeholderObjForImg]
albumSpecificationRequest.addAssets(arrAlbumSpecificationRequest)
// albumSpecificationRequest.addAssets([placeholderObjForImg])
}, completionHandler: {(success:Bool,error:Error?)->Void in
guard let errorObj = error else{
return
}
print(errorObj.localizedDescription)
})
}
}
