Seems to work in iOS 15, so this is what I'm doing now:
requestAuthorization {
/// got permissions
}
func requestAuthorization(completion: @escaping (() -> Void)) {
if #available(iOS 15, *) { /// works, so use `addOnly`
PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .addOnly) { (status) in
if status == .authorized || status == .limited {
completion()
}
}
} else if #available(iOS 14, *) { /// use `readWrite` directly instead. This will ask for both read and write access, but at least it doesn't crash...
PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite) { (status) in
if status == .authorized || status == .limited {
completion()
}
}
} else { /// for older iOS just do `requestAuthorization`
PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization { (status) in
if status == .authorized {
completion()
}
}
}
}
