How to get path to photo taken with ios swift camera

I used the imagePickerController (_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method to get the url of the image that the user selected in the photo gallery. But when I try to get the url for the image taken by the camera, its back null. Here is my code.

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        if (imagePicker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera) {
            let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pickedImage)
            UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(pickedImage, nil, nil, nil)

            if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
                let imageURL =  info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? NSURL
                print(imageURL)
            }
        }

The image you made is not saved and does not yet have a name. You need to save the image before you can get the image path. This is why it returns nil

.



If you pick an image from your image library instead of taking it with your camera, you get the way.

After you have saved the image in the photo album, you can get the path in the callback callback



func saveImage(image: UIImage, completion: @escaping (Error?) -> ()) {
   UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, #selector(image(path:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:)), nil)
}

@objc private func image(path: String, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
    debugPrint(path) // That the path you want
}
