This is how I get an NSURL
:
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
if let referenceUrl = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? NSURL {
//access the file name
}
}
It was using ALAssetsLibrary
:
let assetsLibrary = ALAssetsLibrary()
assetsLibrary.assetForURL(referenceUrl, resultBlock: { asset in
let filename = asset.defaultRepresentation().filename()
}, failureBlock: nil)
but since iOS 9 it is deprecated.
The simplest answer:
if let asset = PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithALAssetURLs([referenceUrl], options: nil).firstObject as? PHAsset {
PHImageManager.defaultManager().requestImageDataForAsset(asset, options: nil, resultHandler: { _, _, _, info in
if let fileName = (info?["PHImageFileURLKey"] as? NSURL)?.lastPathComponent {
//do something with file name
}
})
}
