Answer 1

The problem is in the file format. I was trying to edit PNG screenshot, but renderingContentURL was always tmp/filename.JPG. At first I thought it was a bug, but according to the documentation this is correct behaviour.

renderedContentURL

Read this property to find a URL for writing edited asset content. Then, if editing a photo asset, write the altered photo image to a file in JPEG format at this URL. If editing a video asset, export the video to a QuickTime (.mov) file at this URL.

The solution is to convert the image with function

NSData *UIImageJPEGRepresentation(UIImage *image, CGFloat compressionQuality);
