Obtain Nsurl from Uiimagepickercontroller

Obtain NSURL from UIImagePickerController

I had trouble getting the info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] to work. I had to do it like this:

let assets = PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithALAssetURLs([localUrl], options: nil)
let asset = assets.firstObject
asset?.requestContentEditingInputWithOptions(nil, completionHandler: { (contentEditingInput, info) in
    let imageFile = contentEditingInput?.fullSizeImageURL
    // now call putFile with imageFile instead of localURL

Getting URL of UIImage from UIImagePickerController

Apple has changed something in their NSString and NSURL library in their latest release (iOS 9), but those methods are available from iOS 4. You can check the related Apple Forum Post for more details.

For fixing this error, you need to change the code like:

Swift 2:

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]!)
{
    let imageUrl          = editingInfo[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! NSURL
    let imageName         = imageUrl.lastPathComponent
    let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first as String!
    let photoURL          = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory)
    let localPath         = photoURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent(imageName!)
    let image             = editingInfo[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]as! UIImage
    let data              = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)

    data!.writeToFile(localPath.absoluteString, atomically: true)

    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil);
}

Swift 3:

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any])
{
    let imageUrl          = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! NSURL
    let imageName         = imageUrl.lastPathComponent
    let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first!
    let photoURL          = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory)
    let localPath         = photoURL.appendingPathComponent(imageName!)
    let image             = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]as! UIImage
    let data              = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)

    do
    {
        try data?.write(to: localPath!, options: Data.WritingOptions.atomic)
    }
    catch
    {
        // Catch exception here and act accordingly
    }

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil);
}

Reference:

1. lastPathComponent
2. URLByAppendingPathComponent:

Getting URL of UIImage selected from UIImagePickerController

Okay, I've solved the issue.

All you have to do is simply grab the image (info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as UIImage) and save to the given directory. If you need to save only 1 picture it works great. The code id below.

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
    let imageURL = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as NSURL
    let imageName = imageURL.path!.lastPathComponent
    let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first as String
    let localPath = documentDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent(imageName)

    let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as UIImage
    let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
    data.writeToFile(localPath, atomically: true)

    let imageData = NSData(contentsOfFile: localPath)!
    let photoURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: localPath)
    let imageWithData = UIImage(data: imageData)!

    picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}

NSURL of an image from UIImagePicker

While Zhengjie's answer might work. I found a more simple way to go about it:

    let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory().stringByAppendingPathComponent("imagetoupload"))
    let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
    data.writeToURL(fileURL!, atomically: true)
    uploadReq.body = fileURL
