PhotoKit is a framework that allows your app to interact with the photo and video assets on a user's device. It provides functionalities to add captured photos and videos to the photo library, even when the device is locked. PhotoKit is designed to protect the privacy of the photos and videos in the photo library, ensuring that only the assets captured during the current session are accessible when the device is locked. It also supports granular levels of photo library access, such as write-only access and limited library support, allowing users to select specific photos to share with your app.
