Getting URL of UIImage from UIImagePickerController

Apple has changed something in their NSString and NSURL library in their latest release (iOS 9), but those methods are available from iOS 4. You can check the related Apple Forum Post for more details.

For fixing this error, you need to change the code like:

Swift 2:

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]!)
{
    let imageUrl          = editingInfo[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! NSURL
    let imageName         = imageUrl.lastPathComponent
    let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first as String!
    let photoURL          = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory)
    let localPath         = photoURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent(imageName!)
    let image             = editingInfo[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]as! UIImage
    let data              = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)

    data!.writeToFile(localPath.absoluteString, atomically: true)

    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil);
}

Swift 3:

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any])
{
    let imageUrl          = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! NSURL
    let imageName         = imageUrl.lastPathComponent
    let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first!
    let photoURL          = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory)
    let localPath         = photoURL.appendingPathComponent(imageName!)
    let image             = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]as! UIImage
    let data              = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)

    do
    {
        try data?.write(to: localPath!, options: Data.WritingOptions.atomic)
    }
    catch
    {
        // Catch exception here and act accordingly
    }

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil);
}

Reference:

1. lastPathComponent
2. URLByAppendingPathComponent:

As of iOS 11, you can get the image URL from the info dictionary with the key UIImagePickerControllerImageURL.

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
    let imageURL = info[UIImagePickerControllerImageURL] as? URL
}
