How to get read the iCloud/iTunes synced photos

Question

I am developing an application, in that my job is to access the photos from the photo library using AssetsLibrary. But I'm facing following problems:

1. When I try to access the burst photos
2. Try to access the synced photos from iTunes/iCloud.

So please help me how to access the burst photos and synced photos using AssetsLibrary.

This method is for Photos framework.

If you already got the PHAsset, you can access the asset's data by following:

// For image
PHImageRequestOptions *options = [PHImageRequestOptions new];
options.networkAccessAllowed = YES;
options.version = PHImageRequestOptionsVersionCurrent;
options.deliveryMode = PHImageRequestOptionsDeliveryModeHighQualityFormat;

//If comes from iCloud, the progressHandler will be called. 
options.progressHandler = ^(double progress, NSError *__nullable error, BOOL *stop, NSDictionary *__nullable info) {
    NSLog(@"percent:%f, info:%@", progress, info);
    // Handle progress
};

[[PHImageManager defaultManager] requestImageDataForAsset:asset options:options resultHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable imageData, NSString * _Nullable dataUTI, UIImageOrientation orientation, NSDictionary * _Nullable info) {
    if (imageData) {
        // Handle data
    }
}];


// For video
PHVideoRequestOptions *options = [PHVideoRequestOptions new];
options.version = PHVideoRequestOptionsVersionCurrent;
options.deliveryMode = PHVideoRequestOptionsDeliveryModeHighQualityFormat;
options.progressHandler = ^(double progress, NSError * _Nullable error, BOOL * _Nonnull stop, NSDictionary * _Nullable info) {
    NSLog(@"percent:%f, info:%@", progress, info);
    // Handle progress
};

[[PHImageManager defaultManager] requestAVAssetForVideo:asset options:options resultHandler:^(AVAsset * _Nullable asset, AVAudioMix * _Nullable audioMix, NSDictionary * _Nullable info) {
    AVURLAsset *avurlasset = (AVURLAsset*)asset;
    // Handle data
}];

Get assets:

PHFetchResult *userLibrary = [PHAssetCollection
                              fetchAssetCollectionsWithType:PHAssetCollectionTypeSmartAlbum
                              subtype:PHAssetCollectionSubtypeSmartAlbumUserLibrary
                              options:nil];

[userLibrary enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id _Nonnull obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL * _Nonnull stop) {
    PHAssetCollection *assetCollection = (PHAssetCollection *)obj;
    PHFetchResult *fetchResult = [self getFetchResultInAssetCollection:assetCollection];
    [fetchResult enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id  _Nonnull obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL * _Nonnull stop) {
        PHAsset *asset = (PHAsset *)obj;
        // Handle asset
    }];
}];

-getFetchResultInAssetCollection:

-(PHFetchResult *)getFetchResultInAssetCollection:(PHAssetCollection *)assetCollection {
    PHFetchOptions *options = [[PHFetchOptions alloc] init];
    // video and image
    options.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"mediaType = %d || mediaType = %d", PHAssetMediaTypeImage, PHAssetMediaTypeVideo];
    // Sort by creationDate
    options.sortDescriptors = @[[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"creationDate" ascending:NO]];

    PHFetchResult *fetchResult = [PHAsset fetchAssetsInAssetCollection:assetCollection options:options];

    return fetchResult;
}
