alassetslibrary

I am working on an Iphone app and I can enumerate assets using the Assetslibrary and load them into a table view. The user can delete a row (a picture / video) in the app but how do I UPDATE the Iphone photo album directly from my app? Otherwise on refreshing, the tableview will reload the previously deleted asset. rsswtmr Possible duplication of https://stackoverflow.com/a/11058934/300292 . Simple answer: you can't. The Photos app is the only place you can delete assets. Which is probably a good thing--you wouldn't want any willy-nilly app to be able to delete all your photos, would you? Ted

I'm trying to localize the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key defined in the application's info.plist file ( reference here ). This key gives you a point to provide custom message when the app is first asking for access to your camera roll. I'm using ALAssetsLibrary to enumerate assets groups (which triggers the access request message to pop-up). So far my googling doesn't answer how I could achieve this. I want to avoid localizing the whole info.plist file as it contain a lot more non-locale dependent content. Anyone already solved this or have hints how to proceed? Joe Licari There is a file

I current have an app that uses ALAsssetsLibrary to fetch the photos. I have placed the photo to an image view and I am able to upload to the server. When I tested on the real device after taking some photos, I found out the photos that supposed to be taken in Portrait become a landscape. Therefore, I called different function to get the CGImage like this: UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[representation fullResolutionImage] scale:1.0 orientation:(UIImageOrientation)[representation orientation]]; The first tried out, I used this : UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:

I am able to save an image into a custom album in the iPhone camera roll. For example, the album name could be "Fun", and all of the images I take will go into that folder. I came across a helper class here that works very well to accomplish what I want. However, the method I am using does not save videos into the custom folder, but the folder is created - it's just empty of any videos that I attempt to save there. I tried debugging it with no progress. That method is here: -(void)addAssetURL:(NSURL*)assetURL toAlbum:(NSString*)albumName withCompletionBlock:(SaveImageCompletion)completionBlock

I've written an app that retrieves a photo's GPS metadata, and it works on my iPhone but doesn't in the simulator. If I drag a photo containing geotags onto the simulator, it gets placed into the photo library. Then, my app issues this code: ALAssetRepresentation *assetRepresentation = [asset defaultRepresentation]; NSDictionary *metadata = [assetRepresentation metadata]; and metadata contains all sorts of items, but not GPS. Is there some trick to getting the simulator to recognize GPS metadata? Alternatively, what I'm trying to do is run the app in the simulator as many different devices to
