alassetslibrary

I'm creating an iOS 5 app. I want to save a photo to the device. I want to save the photo to an album specific to my app, so I need to create the album, and then save photos to the album. I know how to create the album: ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init]; [library addAssetsGroupAlbumWithName:@"MY APP NAME" resultBlock:^(ALAssetsGroup *group) { //How to get the album URL? } failureBlock:^(NSError *error) { //Handle the error }]; I want add photos to the new album now, how do I do so? Sample code is greatly appreciated! You may use the following code just change the name

You can do it sneakily† using the undocumented PHAsset.ALAssetURL property, but I'm looking for something documented. † In Objective-C, this will help @interface PHAsset (Sneaky) @property (nonatomic, readonly) NSURL *ALAssetURL; @end holtmann Create the assetURL by leveraging the localidentifier of the PHAsset . Example: PHAsset.localidentifier returns 91B1C271-C617-49CE-A074-E391BA7F843F/L0/001 Now take the 32 first characters to build the assetURL, like: assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=91B1C271-C617-49CE-A074-E391BA7F843F&ext=JPG You might change the extension JPG depending on the UTI
