Try this it will help you.
Step1: Create a global variable
var IMG:String?
Step2: put this function in your code.
func getFileName(info: [String : Any]) -> String {
if let assetPath = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as? URL {
let result = PHAsset.fetchAssets(withALAssetURLs: [assetPath], options: nil)
let asset = result.firstObject
let fileName = asset?.value(forKey: "filename")
let fileUrl = URL(string: fileName as! String)
if let name = fileUrl?.deletingPathExtension().lastPathComponent {
print(name)
//let assetPath = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! NSURL
if (assetPath.absoluteString.hasSuffix("JPG")) {
sonu = "JPG"
print("JPG")
}
else if (assetPath.absoluteString.hasSuffix("PNG")) {
sonu = "PNG"
print("PNG")
}
else if (assetPath.absoluteString.hasSuffix("GIF")) {
sonu = "GIF"
print("GIF")
}
else {
sonu = "Unknown"
print("Unknown")
}
return name
}
}
return ""
}
Step3: Set this code in your ImagePickerController
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage
{
imageview.image = image
let IMG = getFileName(info: info)
print(IMG)
if IMG == "JPG"
{
imageDataForApi = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
}
else if IMG == "GIF"
{
imageDataForApi = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0)
}
}
self.dismiss(animated: true) { () -> Void in
}
