How can I give a flag to PHAsset?

I want to mark a video as uploaded when I upload that to server. I am using Photos framework to fetch videos from a PHCollection. I can't find a way to mark video as uploaded so that I can distinguish between both the types of videos uploaded and not uploaded. Please help me to figure out this.

Solution

  • You can use PHAsset's localIdentifier property to distinguish uploaded and not uploaded media. When you finish uploading, store the identifier somewhere in your app to mark the media as uploaded. Documentation states that localIdentifier is:

    A unique string that persistently identifies the object. (read-only)

    Hope this helps!

    P.S.: localIdentifier comes from PHObject which PHAsset inherits.
