Get Camera Roll Photos without UIImagePickerController
alassetslibrary, ios, objective-c, uiimagepickercontroller
Solution
As my comment suggested:
You have to use the `AssetsLibrary` framework: `#import <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h>` Here is a good link as well to help you get started: http://codemastergabriel.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/access-mediaphotosvideos-using-alassetslibrary-iosobjective-c/
Problem
I was wondering how one can get the photos off of iPhone's camera roll / photo library without opening up a UIImagePickerController. I've been trying to Google this but it always points me to the `UIImagePickerController` which I'm reluctant to use since it will open up another view controller. I know this is possible since Facebook Messenger has this feature. It presents my camera photo options without opening up iPhone's native photo app. For reference this is the `UIImagePickerController` and this is the Facebook Messenger App
