Reply to Is there an API for access photos shared albumn?
A simple use case is a backup application (e.g. for backing up to a NAS), where the user has the choice to only backup the personal library, only the shared library or both. I filled a feedback (It's still open) for such an enhancement around iOS 16 beta times. It's however still relevant as such a feature (and therefore API extension) has also been requested by numerous of our users since the Shared Library was introduced in iOS 16.1. Please have a look at: FB10577368

Reply to iOS 16 Beta: Access "Hidden smart album" from PhotoKit
Thanks for the feedback. I just noticed that the same issue applies to the includehiddenassets of PHFetchOptions.: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/phfetchoptions/1624780-includehiddenassets?language=objc In this case the documentation was not updated for iOS 16, yet the includehiddenassets property seems to be ignored, if the user has turned on to require authorisation for hidden assets. Also it changes the behaviour of existing apps without a way to work around it. Makes it sense to fill a feedback on this? If it's not feasible to provide authorisation within apps for access, at least a property to check if the user has enabled authorisation would be useful.
