Reading the GPS data from the image returned by the camera in iOS iphone

Question

I need to get the GPS coordinates of an image taken with the iOS device\'s camera. I do not care about the Camera Roll images, just the image taken with UIImagePickerControl

Swift answer:

import AssetsLibrary
import CoreLocation


// MARK: - UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
extension ViewController: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {
    func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        defer {
            dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
        guard picker.sourceType == .photoLibrary else {
            return
        }
        guard let url = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? URL else {
            return
        }

        let library = ALAssetsLibrary()
        library.asset(for: url, resultBlock: { (asset) in
            guard let coordinate = asset?.value(forProperty: ALAssetPropertyLocation) as? CLLocation else {
                return
            }
            print("\(coordinate)")

            // Getting human-readable address.
            let geocoder = CLGeocoder()
            geocoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(coordinate, completionHandler: { (placemarks, error) in
                guard let placemark = placemarks?.first else {
                    return
                }
                print("\(placemark.addressDictionary)")
            })
        }, failureBlock: { (error: Error?) in
            print("Unable to read metadata: \(error)")
        })
    }
}
