Overview

Each PHAsset object references one or more resources. Use these objects to work with those resources directly, like when backing up or restoring assets.

  • A photo asset can contain both JPEG and RAW files representing the same photo.

  • A Live Photo asset contains both still photo and video resources.

  • An edited asset contains resources representing asset content before and after the edit, as well as a resource corresponding to the PHAdjustmentData object that describes the edit.

To work with the data contained in an asset resource, fetch it using the PHAssetResourceManager class.
