Answer 1

Yes, you must convert PHAsset to ALAsset, then you can grab the url from ALAsset. Something like this: PHImageManager.defaultManager().requestAVAssetForVideo....

Answer 2

Requests asset information for beginning a content editing session.

- (PHContentEditingInputRequestID)requestContentEditingInputWithOptions:(PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions *)options 
                                                      completionHandler:(void (^)(PHContentEditingInput *contentEditingInput, NSDictionary *info))completionHandler;

The URL to a file that contains the full-sized image data.

@property(readonly, copy) NSURL *fullSizeImageURL;

Answer 3

Use content editing input:

asset.requestContentEditingInput(with: PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions()) { (input, _) in
        let url = input.fullSizeImageURL
}

Make sure that the asset is PHAssetMediaType.Image or otherwise it may crash when unpacking an optional.

Answer 4

func getImagesFromAsset(anAsset: PHAsset) {
    PHImageManager.default().requestImage(for: anAsset, targetSize: CGSize(width: 600, height: 600), contentMode: .aspectFill, options: nil, resultHandler: { (image, info) in
        //resultHandler have info ([AnyHashable: Any])
        print(info!["PHImageFileURLKey"])
        if let img = image {
            self.imgv.image = img
        }
    })
}

this might help paste this in you CellForRowAt method and pass the PHAsset in argument.

Answer 5

asset=PHAsset *asset

[asset requestContentEditingInputWithOptions:[PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions new] completionHandler:^(PHContentEditingInput *contentEditingInput, NSDictionary *info) {
   NSURL *imageURL = contentEditingInput.fullSizeImageURL;
}];

Make sure your PHAsset should be an image type to check this PHAssetMediaType.Image should be true

Answer 6

PHAsset *asset = YOUR_ASSET;

PHImageManager *manager = [PHImageManager defaultManager];
PHImageRequestOptions *options = [PHImageRequestOptions new];
options.synchronous = YES;
options.deliveryMode = PHImageRequestOptionsDeliveryModeHighQualityFormat;
options.resizeMode = PHImageRequestOptionsResizeModeNone;
options.networkAccessAllowed = NO;

[manager requestImageForAsset:YOUR_ASSET targetSize:PHImageManagerMaximumSize contentMode:PHImageContentModeDefault options:options resultHandler:^(UIImage *resultImage, NSDictionary *info){

    NSURL *filePath = [info valueForKeyPath:@"PHImageFileURLKey"]

}];
