How to open a Photo Library instead of File Picker on iOS?

[szadev]

I couldn't find any information in the documentation about how to open the Photo Library on iOS.
Could you please tell me how to do it?

Hi @szadev you can get this using the https://platform.uno/docs/articles/features/windows-storage-pickers.html#fileopenpicker API. There is a property .SuggestedStartLocation you will set to open the VideosLibrary or PicturesLibrary, which, combined with the extension filters

fileOpenPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".png");
fileOpenPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");

allows you to filter out the type of content you want the users to pick.

The link above should give you all you need. If that's not the case, please feel free to ask again :)

Thank you, fileOpenPicker.SuggestedStartLocation helped me.

Hello again, @ajpinedam.
How could I use the files limit on iOS with the internal implementation?

[ajpinedam]

for iOS the method you are looking is called SetMultipleFilesLimit so the following should work

picker.SetMultipleFilesLimit(3);

[szadev]

its works! so, there is a method naming mistake in the documentation.

Thanks for bringing this up. We will update the documentation with the right method name.
