If you are using photos framework since ALAsset libraries are deprecated from ios 9 you can use PHAuthorizationStatus to check gallery access. You need to import photos framework as well.

  #import 

- (BOOL)hasGalleryPermission
{
    BOOL hasGalleryPermission = NO;
    PHAuthorizationStatus authorizationStatus = [PHPhotoLibrary authorizationStatus];

    if (authorizationStatus == PHAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
        hasGalleryPermission = YES;
    }
    return hasGalleryPermission;
}
