Modifying metadata from an existing phasset seems inoperative

Question

In my application, I want to make it possible for the user to set StarRating from 0 to 5 for any image that he has in his PhotoLibrary. My research shows that there are several ways to do this:

Save exif metadata with the new PHPhotoLibrary

Swift: Custom camera saves modified metadata with image

Writing a photo with metadata using Photokit

Most of these answers created a new photo. Now my fragment looks like this:

let options = PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions()
options.isNetworkAccessAllowed = true

self.requestContentEditingInput(with: options, completionHandler: {
            (contentEditingInput, _) -> Void in

    if contentEditingInput != nil {

        if let url = contentEditingInput!.fullSizeImageURL {
            if let nsurl = url as? NSURL {
                if let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(nsurl, nil) {
                    var imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(imageSource, 0, nil) as Dictionary?
                    if imageProperties != nil {
                        imageProperties![kCGImagePropertyIPTCStarRating] = rating as AnyObject

                        let imageData = NSMutableData(contentsOf: url)
                        let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile: url.path)

                        let destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithData(imageData!, CGImageSourceGetType(imageSource)!, 1, nil)

                        CGImageDestinationAddImage(destination!, image!.cgImage!, imageProperties! as CFDictionary)

                        var contentEditingOutput : PHContentEditingOutput? = nil

                        if CGImageDestinationFinalize(destination!) {
                            let archievedData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: rating)
                            let identifier = "com.example.starrating"
                            let adjustmentData = PHAdjustmentData(formatIdentifier: identifier, formatVersion: "1.0", data: archievedData)

                            contentEditingOutput = PHContentEditingOutput(contentEditingInput: contentEditingInput!)
                            contentEditingOutput!.adjustmentData = adjustmentData
                            if imageData!.write(to: contentEditingOutput!.renderedContentURL, atomically: true) {
                                PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
                                    let request = PHAssetChangeRequest(for: self)
                                    request.contentEditingOutput = contentEditingOutput
                                }, completionHandler: {
                                    success, error in
                                    if success && error == nil {
                                        completion(true)
                                    } else {
                                        completion(false)
                                    }
                                })
                            }
                        } else {
                            completion(false)
                        }

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
})

Now that I want to read the metadata from PHAsset, I again request ContentEditingInput and do the following:

if let url = contentEditingInput!.fullSizeImageURL {
    if let nsurl = url as? NSURL {
        if let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(nsurl, nil) {
            if let imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(imageSource, 0, nil) as Dictionary? {

                if let starRating = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyIPTCStarRating] as? Int {
                    rating = starRating
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But I never get my rating because it says the value imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyIPTCStarRating]is zero.
