How to get the iPhone Photo Library path

[nagarajan]

Hello Experts,

In my project, i want to do something like this.
I just want to read the Path of the photo albums from the iPhone device,from where i want to get the photos. After getting the photos, i want to display the photos as views with swiping methodology, similar in the photo albums but in my project.

Is there is a way to achieve this?
Please advice me??

Thanks,
Nagarajan T

I don't think this is possible, since the photo albums are not directly accessible from the application sandbox. The only access to the photo library is through the system picker, which returns the actual image after the user has already selected it.

you can access images by using photolibrary.framework. but it was a private framework, apple won't accept that one

I don't think so!!. But there may be some private frameworks to achieve this.

Yeah, if you want to release this app in app store (which means, no private API allowed), the image picker is your only option.

with out image picker you can access photolibrary images by using the private framework photolibrary.framework. you can get idea from the following link
Accessing all your onboard photos from your iPhone database - O'Reilly Digital Media Blog
- one thing for this you are using private framework . so apple won't allow it
