How do I determine if a PHAsset in a PHFetchResult represents a deleted photo?

Question

I\'m trying to grab a thumbnail of the last photo taken on a device using the new Photos framework in iOS 8. The code I have right now to do this is the following:

Answer 1

PHFetchResult *fetchResults = [PHAsset fetchAssetsWithOptions:options];
NSArray* tempArray = [fetchResults objectsAtIndexes:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndexesInRange:NSMakeRange(0, fetchResults.count)]];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"description contains %@",@"assetSource=3"];
NSArray *filteredArray =  [tempArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];

The filteredArray doesn't include the "Recently Deleted" album and doesn't have identical looking photos. Also for the deleted photo asset in your assetsInfo, the following two will return NO.

[asset canPerformEditOperation:PHAssetEditOperationContent] 
[asset canPerformEditOperation:PHAssetEditOperationProperties]

In PHAsset Runtime Headers there are useful properties:

@property (getter=isTrashed, nonatomic, readonly) bool trashed;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSDate *trashedDate;
