Discussion

important:

You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the following declaration:

func writeImage(toSavedPhotosAlbum imageRef: CGImage!, metadata: [AnyHashable : Any]!) async throws -> URL?

For information about concurrency and asynchronous code in Swift, see Calling Objective-C APIs Asynchronously.

You must specify the orientation key in the metadata dictionary to preserve the orientation of the image.
