how to get path of picture taken by camera ios swift

Question

I was using the imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo delegate method for getting the url of the image which user chose on photo gallery. But when I try to get URL for image taken by camera its return nill. Here is my code.

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        if (imagePicker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera) {
            let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pickedImage)
            UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(pickedImage, nil, nil, nil)

            if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
                let imageURL =  info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? NSURL
                print(imageURL)
            }
        }

Answer 1

The image you have taken is not saved and has not any name yet. You need to save the image before you can get the path for the image. That´s why it returns nil.

If you select an image from the image library instead of taking one with the camera you´ll get a path.

Answer 2

After you saved the image into the Photos Album, you can get the path in response callback

func saveImage(image: UIImage, completion: @escaping (Error?) -> ()) {
   UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, #selector(image(path:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:)), nil)
}

@objc private func image(path: String, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
    debugPrint(path) // That's the path you want
}
