In the first

Answer 1

[Swift 4] This method can handle both image and video, enjoy :)

func getURL(of asset: PHAsset, completionHandler : @escaping ((_ responseURL : URL?) -> Void)) {

    if asset.mediaType == .image {
        let options: PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions = PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions()
        options.canHandleAdjustmentData = {(adjustmeta: PHAdjustmentData) -> Bool in
            return true
        }
        asset.requestContentEditingInput(with: options, completionHandler: { (contentEditingInput, info) in
            completionHandler(contentEditingInput!.fullSizeImageURL)
        })
    } else if asset.mediaType == .video {
        let options: PHVideoRequestOptions = PHVideoRequestOptions()
        options.version = .original
        PHImageManager.default().requestAVAsset(forVideo: asset, options: options, resultHandler: { (asset, audioMix, info) in
            if let urlAsset = asset as? AVURLAsset {
                let localVideoUrl = urlAsset.url
                completionHandler(localVideoUrl)
            } else {
                completionHandler(nil)
            }
        })
    }
}
