Is there any way by which I can select only "JPG", "PNG" and "JPEG" images through UIImagePIcker

Question

While using self.imagePicker.mediaTypes = [(kUTTypeImage as String)] through UIImagePicker I am able to select all types of images but my requirement is select only JPG, JPEG and PNG type images through photo library and GIF and HEIC(live photos) are not allowed.

So, Is there any way by which I can prevent selecting GIFs and HEIC type photo while imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary

Code:

imagePicker.delegate = self

        let actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

        actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: StringConstants.Actions.Camera, style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
            CheckPermissions.checkPermission(permissionFor: .Camera,vc:self) { (success) in
                if success {
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {[unowned self] in
                        if(UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera)) {
                            self.view.endEditing(true)
                            self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
                            self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
                            self.imagePicker.cameraCaptureMode = .photo
                            self.imagePicker.showsCameraControls = true
                            self.imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen
                            self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
                        }
                        else {
                            self.showAlert(withTitle: kEmptyString, message: StringConstants.AlertMessage.cameraAlertMessage, andOkAction: nil )
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }))

        actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: StringConstants.Actions.PhotoLibrary, style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
            CheckPermissions.checkPermission(permissionFor: .PhotoLibrary,vc: self) { (success) in
                if success {
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {[unowned self] in
                        self.view.endEditing(true)
                        self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
                        self.imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
                        self.imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen
                        self.imagePicker.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
                        self.imagePicker.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.white]
                        self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
                    }
                }
            }

        }))

Answer 1

Simply No. There is no way to give input of specific formate to UIImagePicker and get the result of only that formate.

UIImagePicker only accepts kUTTypeMovie and kUTTypeImage as a mediaType. What you can do is check the image/file extension after picking any image in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo.
