PhotosPicker (SwiftUI, iOS 16+)

PhotosPicker is the native SwiftUI replacement for UIImagePickerController. It runs out-of-process, requires no photo library permission for browsing, and supports single or multi-selection with media type filtering.

Single Selection

swift

import SwiftUIimport PhotosUI
struct SinglePhotoPicker: View {    @State private var selectedItem: PhotosPickerItem?    @State private var selectedImage: Image?
    var body: some View {        VStack {            if let selectedImage {                selectedImage                    .resizable()                    .scaledToFit()                    .frame(maxHeight: 300)            }
            PhotosPicker("Select Photo", selection: $selectedItem, matching: .images)        }        .onChange(of: selectedItem) { _, newItem in            Task {                if let data = try? await newItem?.loadTransferable(type: Data.self),                   let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) {                    selectedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)                }            }        }    }}

import SwiftUIimport PhotosUI
struct SinglePhotoPicker: View {    @State private var selectedItem: PhotosPickerItem?    @State private var selectedImage: Image?
    var body: some View {        VStack {            if let selectedImage {                selectedImage                    .resizable()                    .scaledToFit()                    .frame(maxHeight: 300)            }
            PhotosPicker("Select Photo", selection: $selectedItem, matching: .images)        }        .onChange(of: selectedItem) { _, newItem in            Task {                if let data = try? await newItem?.loadTransferable(type: Data.self),                   let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) {                    selectedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)                }            }        }    }}

Multi-Selection

swift

struct MultiPhotoPicker: View {    @State private var selectedItems: [PhotosPickerItem] = []    @State private var selectedImages: [Image] = []
    var body: some View {        VStack {            ScrollView(.horizontal) {                HStack {                    ForEach(selectedImages.indices, id: \.self) { index in                        selectedImages[index]                            .resizable()                            .scaledToFill()                            .frame(width: 100, height: 100)                            .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 8))                    }                }            }
            PhotosPicker(                "Select Photos",                selection: $selectedItems,                maxSelectionCount: 5,                matching: .images            )        }        .onChange(of: selectedItems) { _, newItems in            Task {                selectedImages = []                for item in newItems {                    if let data = try? await item.loadTransferable(type: Data.self),                       let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) {                        selectedImages.append(Image(uiImage: uiImage))                    }                }            }        }    }}

struct MultiPhotoPicker: View {    @State private var selectedItems: [PhotosPickerItem] = []    @State private var selectedImages: [Image] = []
    var body: some View {        VStack {            ScrollView(.horizontal) {                HStack {                    ForEach(selectedImages.indices, id: \.self) { index in                        selectedImages[index]                            .resizable()                            .scaledToFill()                            .frame(width: 100, height: 100)                            .clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 8))                    }                }            }
            PhotosPicker(                "Select Photos",                selection: $selectedItems,                maxSelectionCount: 5,                matching: .images            )        }        .onChange(of: selectedItems) { _, newItems in            Task {                selectedImages = []                for item in newItems {                    if let data = try? await item.loadTransferable(type: Data.self),                       let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) {                        selectedImages.append(Image(uiImage: uiImage))                    }                }            }        }    }}

Media Type Filtering

Filter with PHPickerFilter composites to restrict selectable media:

swift

// Images onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .images)
// Videos onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .videos)
// Live Photos onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .livePhotos)
// Screenshots onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .screenshots)
// Images and videos combinedPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .any(of: [.images, .videos]))
// Images excluding screenshotsPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .all(of: [.images, .not(.screenshots)]))

// Images onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .images)
// Videos onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .videos)
// Live Photos onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .livePhotos)
// Screenshots onlyPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .screenshots)
// Images and videos combinedPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .any(of: [.images, .videos]))
// Images excluding screenshotsPhotosPicker(selection: $items, matching: .all(of: [.images, .not(.screenshots)]))

Loading Selected Items with Transferable

PhotosPickerItem loads content asynchronously via loadTransferable(type:). Define a Transferable type for automatic decoding:

swift

struct PickedImage: Transferable {    let data: Data    let image: Image
    static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {        DataRepresentation(importedContentType: .image) { data in            guard let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) else {                throw TransferError.importFailed            }            return PickedImage(data: data, image: Image(uiImage: uiImage))        }    }}
enum TransferError: Error {    case importFailed}
// Usageif let picked = try? await item.loadTransferable(type: PickedImage.self) {    selectedImage = picked.image}

struct PickedImage: Transferable {    let data: Data    let image: Image
    static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {        DataRepresentation(importedContentType: .image) { data in            guard let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) else {                throw TransferError.importFailed            }            return PickedImage(data: data, image: Image(uiImage: uiImage))        }    }}
enum TransferError: Error {    case importFailed}
// Usageif let picked = try? await item.loadTransferable(type: PickedImage.self) {    selectedImage = picked.image}

Always load in a Task to avoid blocking the main thread. Handle nil returns and thrown errors -- the user may select a format that cannot be decoded.

Privacy and Permissions

Photo Library Access Levels

iOS provides two access levels for the photo library. The system automatically presents the limited-library picker when an app requests .readWrite access -- users choose which photos to share.

PhotosPicker requires no permission to browse -- it runs out-of-process and only grants access to selected items. Request explicit permission only when you need to read the full library (e.g., a custom gallery) or save photos.

Checking and Requesting Photo Library Permission

swift

import Photos
func requestPhotoLibraryAccess() async -> PHAuthorizationStatus {    let status = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite)
    switch status {    case .notDetermined:        return await PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite)    case .authorized, .limited:        return status    case .denied, .restricted:        return status    @unknown default:        return status    }}

import Photos
func requestPhotoLibraryAccess() async -> PHAuthorizationStatus {    let status = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus(for: .readWrite)
    switch status {    case .notDetermined:        return await PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite)    case .authorized, .limited:        return status    case .denied, .restricted:        return status    @unknown default:        return status    }}

Camera Permission

Add NSCameraUsageDescription to Info.plist. Check and request access before configuring a capture session:

swift

import AVFoundation
func requestCameraAccess() async -> Bool {    let status = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .video)
    switch status {    case .notDetermined:        return await AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .video)    case .authorized:        return true    case .denied, .restricted:        return false    @unknown default:        return false    }}

import AVFoundation
func requestCameraAccess() async -> Bool {    let status = AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .video)
    switch status {    case .notDetermined:        return await AVCaptureDevice.requestAccess(for: .video)    case .authorized:        return true    case .denied, .restricted:        return false    @unknown default:        return false    }}

Handling Denied Permissions

When the user denies access, guide them to Settings. Never repeatedly prompt or hide functionality silently.

swift

struct PermissionDeniedView: View {    let message: String    @Environment(\.openURL) private var openURL
    var body: some View {        ContentUnavailableView {            Label("Access Denied", systemImage: "lock.shield")        } description: {            Text(message)        } actions: {            Button("Open Settings") {                if let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {                    openURL(url)                }            }        }    }}

struct PermissionDeniedView: View {    let message: String    @Environment(\.openURL) private var openURL
    var body: some View {        ContentUnavailableView {            Label("Access Denied", systemImage: "lock.shield")        } description: {            Text(message)        } actions: {            Button("Open Settings") {                if let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {                    openURL(url)                }            }        }    }}

Required Info.plist Keys

Key	When Required
`NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription`	Reading photos from the library
`NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription`	Saving photos/videos to the library
`NSCameraUsageDescription`	Accessing the camera
`NSMicrophoneUsageDescription`	Recording audio (video with sound)

Omitting a required key causes a runtime crash when the permission dialog would appear.

Camera Capture Basics

Own each capture session in a dedicated controller and serialize configuration, startRunning(), and stopRunning() on the same non-main executor. Never mix main-actor configuration with detached start/stop tasks: beginConfiguration()/commitConfiguration() and session state changes must not race. The representable view only displays the preview.

Minimal Camera Manager

Load Camera Capture [blocked] for the serialized-controller pattern, photo/video delegates, focus, torch, orientation, and scanning. The critical lifecycle is:

Request access outside the session configuration transaction.
On the capture executor, call beginConfiguration() and immediately install defer { commitConfiguration() } so every early exit balances the transaction.
Add inputs and outputs only after canAddInput/canAddOutput checks.
Start or stop on that same executor, then publish UI state on the main actor only after the synchronous call returns.
On failure, stop, restore a fresh session fixture, fix the configuration, and rerun authorization, background/foreground, interruption, and capture checks.

Camera Preview in SwiftUI

Wrap AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer in a UIViewRepresentable. Override layerClass for automatic resizing:

swift

import SwiftUIimport AVFoundation
struct CameraPreview: UIViewRepresentable {    let session: AVCaptureSession
    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> PreviewView {        let view = PreviewView()        view.previewLayer.session = session        view.previewLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill        return view    }
    func updateUIView(_ uiView: PreviewView, context: Context) {        if uiView.previewLayer.session !== session {            uiView.previewLayer.session = session        }    }}
final class PreviewView: UIView {    override class var layerClass: AnyClass { AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer.self }    var previewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer { layer as! AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer }}

import SwiftUIimport AVFoundation
struct CameraPreview: UIViewRepresentable {    let session: AVCaptureSession
    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> PreviewView {        let view = PreviewView()        view.previewLayer.session = session        view.previewLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill        return view    }
    func updateUIView(_ uiView: PreviewView, context: Context) {        if uiView.previewLayer.session !== session {            uiView.previewLayer.session = session        }    }}
final class PreviewView: UIView {    override class var layerClass: AnyClass { AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer.self }    var previewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer { layer as! AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer }}

Using the Camera in a View

swift

struct CameraScreen: View {    @State private var cameraManager = CameraManager()
    var body: some View {        ZStack(alignment: .bottom) {            CameraPreview(session: cameraManager.session)                .ignoresSafeArea()
            Button {                // Capture photo -- see references/camera-capture.md            } label: {                Circle()                    .fill(.white)                    .frame(width: 72, height: 72)                    .overlay(Circle().stroke(.gray, lineWidth: 3))            }            .padding(.bottom)        }        .task {            await cameraManager.configure()            cameraManager.start()        }        .onDisappear {            cameraManager.stop()        }    }}

struct CameraScreen: View {    @State private var cameraManager = CameraManager()
    var body: some View {        ZStack(alignment: .bottom) {            CameraPreview(session: cameraManager.session)                .ignoresSafeArea()
            Button {                // Capture photo -- see references/camera-capture.md            } label: {                Circle()                    .fill(.white)                    .frame(width: 72, height: 72)                    .overlay(Circle().stroke(.gray, lineWidth: 3))            }            .padding(.bottom)        }        .task {            await cameraManager.configure()            cameraManager.start()        }        .onDisappear {            cameraManager.stop()        }    }}

Always call stop() in onDisappear. A running capture session holds the camera exclusively and drains battery.

Image Loading and Display

AsyncImage for Remote Images

swift

AsyncImage(url: imageURL) { phase in    switch phase {    case .empty:        ProgressView()    case .success(let image):        image            .resizable()            .scaledToFill()    case .failure:        Image(systemName: "photo")            .foregroundStyle(.secondary)    @unknown default:        EmptyView()    }}.frame(width: 200, height: 200).clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 12))

AsyncImage(url: imageURL) { phase in    switch phase {    case .empty:        ProgressView()    case .success(let image):        image            .resizable()            .scaledToFill()    case .failure:        Image(systemName: "photo")            .foregroundStyle(.secondary)    @unknown default:        EmptyView()    }}.frame(width: 200, height: 200).clipShape(.rect(cornerRadius: 12))

AsyncImage does not cache images across view redraws. For production apps with many images, use a dedicated image loading library or URLCache-based caching.

Downsampling Large Images

Load full-resolution photos from the library into a display-sized CGImage to avoid memory spikes. A 48MP photo can consume over 200 MB uncompressed.

swift

import ImageIOimport UIKit
func downsample(data: Data, to pointSize: CGSize, scale: CGFloat = UITraitCollection.current.displayScale) -> UIImage? {    let maxDimensionInPixels = max(pointSize.width, pointSize.height) * scale
    let options: [CFString: Any] = [        kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways: true,        kCGImageSourceShouldCacheImmediately: true,        kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform: true,        kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize: maxDimensionInPixels    ]
    guard let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(data as CFData, nil),          let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(source, 0, options as CFDictionary) else {        return nil    }
    return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)}

import ImageIOimport UIKit
func downsample(data: Data, to pointSize: CGSize, scale: CGFloat = UITraitCollection.current.displayScale) -> UIImage? {    let maxDimensionInPixels = max(pointSize.width, pointSize.height) * scale
    let options: [CFString: Any] = [        kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways: true,        kCGImageSourceShouldCacheImmediately: true,        kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform: true,        kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize: maxDimensionInPixels    ]
    guard let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(data as CFData, nil),          let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(source, 0, options as CFDictionary) else {        return nil    }
    return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)}

Use this whenever displaying user-selected photos in lists, grids, or thumbnails. Pass the raw Data from PhotosPickerItem directly to the downsampler before creating a UIImage.

Image Rendering Modes

swift

// Original: display the image as-is with its original colorsImage("photo")    .renderingMode(.original)
// Template: treat the image as a mask, colored by foregroundStyleImage(systemName: "heart.fill")    .renderingMode(.template)    .foregroundStyle(.red)

// Original: display the image as-is with its original colorsImage("photo")    .renderingMode(.original)
// Template: treat the image as a mask, colored by foregroundStyleImage(systemName: "heart.fill")    .renderingMode(.template)    .foregroundStyle(.red)

Use .original for photos and artwork. Use .template for icons that should adopt the current tint color.

Common Mistakes

DON'T: Use UIImagePickerController for photo picking. DO: Use PhotosPicker (SwiftUI) or PHPickerViewController (UIKit). Why: UIImagePickerController is legacy API with limited functionality. PhotosPicker runs out-of-process, supports multi-selection, and requires no library permission for browsing.

DON'T: Request full photo library access when you only need the user to pick photos. DO: Use PhotosPicker which requires no permission, or request .readWrite and let the system handle limited access. Why: Full access is unnecessary for most pick-and-use workflows. The system's limited-library picker respects user privacy and still grants access to selected items.

DON'T: Load full-resolution images into memory for thumbnails. DO: Use CGImageSource with kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize to downsample. A 48MP image is over 200 MB uncompressed.

DON'T: Block the main thread loading PhotosPickerItem data. DO: Use async loadTransferable(type:) in a Task.

DON'T: Forget to stop AVCaptureSession when the view disappears. DO: Call session.stopRunning() in onDisappear or dismantleUIView.

DON'T: Assume camera access is granted without checking. DO: Check AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: .video) and handle .denied/.restricted.

DON'T: Call session.startRunning() on the main thread. DO: Run it on the same dedicated serial executor that owns configuration and stop operations. Why: startRunning() is a synchronous blocking call that can take hundreds of milliseconds while the hardware initializes.

DON'T: Create AVCaptureSession inside a UIViewRepresentable. DO: Own the session in a separate @Observable model.

Review Checklist

PhotosPicker used instead of deprecated UIImagePickerController
Privacy descriptions in Info.plist for camera/photo library
Loading states handled for async image/video loading
Large images downsampled with CGImageSource before display
Camera session started on background thread; stopped in onDisappear
Permission denial handled with Settings deep link
AVCaptureSession owned by model, not created inside UIViewRepresentable
Media asset types and picker results are Sendable across concurrency boundaries
