PHAsset+Utility

A category to simplify common PHAsset functions.


Photos Permission

Note: This class assumes that you've already obtained permission from the user like so:
[PHPhotoLibrary requestAuthorization:^(PHAuthorizationStatus status) {
    // copacetic...
}];

Looking for a solution for user permission prompting? Check out this framework:

Metadata

The metatdata dictionary returned from requestMetadataWithCompletionBlock will have subdictionaries broken into logical categories. Use Apple's ImageIO framework for parsing.
