Save UIImage to photos album and then open Photos app

Question

Currently I am saving a UIImage to the photos album using UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum, which works fine.

Is there a way to then open the Photos app showing the just-saved photo? (I assume my app must close before opening Photos, which is fine.)

Simply opening the Photos app to the Saved Photos Album would be a not-quite-as-good alternative if the above isn't possible.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It is not possible to open the photos app. But, as a workaround, you can open the album where you saved the photo using UIImagePickerViewController. Then, the user can click on the image and see it. That way, they won't even have to exit your application.

Answer 2

No, it's not possible using the SDK. If this is something you think is needed, you should file an enhancement request.
