get geotag info for photos using PHImageManager

I'm trying to list geo tag info (longitude and latitude) for all photos, obtained using 

PHImageManager.defaultManager().requestImageForAsset(fetchResult.objectAtIndex(1) as! PHAsset, targetSize: CGSize(width: 100.0, height: 100.0), contentMode: PHImageContentMode.AspectFill, options: options) { (image, info)

however, info doesn't seem to contain this information, is there any way to get this information using Photos framework?

thank you, Anton

Solution

  • PHAsset itself hold the CLLocation (i.e geo location) for the image. There is no need to request image data for it.

    All you need to do is 

    fetchResult.objectAtIndex(1).location

    Here is the link to the documentation page for PHAsset https://developer.apple.com/reference/photos/phasset
