How to load image from photos using new PHPickerViewController in iOS programmatically?

Question

I want to select an image from photos using new PHPickerViewController and I want to open PHPickerViewController directly when my controller is load.

Like this

import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
         // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
         // TODO: - Here I want PhotoPicker
       }
    }

Did you look at the doc? developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/… There is even a sample code developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/… Side note, when the viewDidLoad(), it might not be visible yet, so you can't open (ie present) the PHPickerViewController yet. — Larme

you can call this method `openPHPicker()` when ever you want to place your PHPicker.

You can use this code also. for opening new PHPicker.

import Photos
import PhotosUI


// MARK: - PHPicker Configurations (PHPickerViewControllerDelegate)
extension ViewController: PHPickerViewControllerDelegate {
    func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) {
         picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: .none)
         results.forEach { result in
               result.itemProvider.loadObject(ofClass: UIImage.self) { reading, error in
               guard let image = reading as? UIImage, error == nil else { return }
               DispatchQueue.main.async {
                   self.profilePictureOutlet.image = image
                   // TODO: - Here you get UIImage
               }
               result.itemProvider.loadFileRepresentation(forTypeIdentifier: "public.image") { [weak self] url, _ in
                // TODO: - Here You Get The URL
               }
          }
       }
  }

   /// call this method for `PHPicker`
   func openPHPicker() {
       var phPickerConfig = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: .shared())
       phPickerConfig.selectionLimit = 1
       phPickerConfig.filter = PHPickerFilter.any(of: [.images, .livePhotos])
       let phPickerVC = PHPickerViewController(configuration: phPickerConfig)
       phPickerVC.delegate = self
       present(phPickerVC, animated: true)
   }
}
