Discussion

In an app using the Photos framework, you obtain a PHContentEditingInput object by calling requestContentEditingInput(with:completionHandler:) method of a PHAsset object that you’ve previously fetched.

In a photo editing extension that runs within the Photos app, your extension’s main view controller (which adopts the PHContentEditingController protocol) receives a PHContentEditingInput object when the user chooses to edit a Live Photo with your extension.

You can create a Live Photo editing context only from PHContentEditingInput object that represents a Live Photo. Use the livePhoto property of the editing input to verify that it has live Photo content.
