It may be an issue with privacy settings - people have been having this problem with my app and no error message is reported. In theory attempting to save a photo should automatically ask the user if the app should be allowed to access their photos however in some cases the user will need to go to Settings > Privacy > Photos and ensure your app is allowed.
