Problem writing metadata to an image

I use AvFoundation to capture a still image and add gps information to the metadata and save it to the photo album using the Asset library, but the gps information is not saved at all.

here is my code ...

[self.stillImageTaker captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:videoConnection
                    completionHandler:^(CMSampleBufferRef imageDataSampleBuffer, NSError *error) 
    {

if (imageDataSampleBuffer != NULL) 

    {

            CFDictionaryRef exifAttachments = CMGetAttachment(imageDataSampleBuffer,kCGImagePropertyExifDictionary, NULL);
            CFDictionaryRef metadataDict = CMCopyDictionaryOfAttachments(NULL, imageDataSampleBuffer, kCMAttachmentMode_ShouldPropagate);


        NSDictionary *gpsDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"1",kCGImagePropertyGPSVersion,
                                 @"78.4852",kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitude,@"32.1456",kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitude, nil];

        CMSetAttachment(imageDataSampleBuffer,kCGImagePropertyGPSDictionary,gpsDict,kCMAttachmentMode_ShouldPropagate);

        CFDictionaryRef newMetadata = CMCopyDictionaryOfAttachments(NULL, imageDataSampleBuffer, kCMAttachmentMode_ShouldPropagate);
        CFDictionaryRef gpsAttachments = CMGetAttachment(imageDataSampleBuffer,kCGImagePropertyGPSDictionary, NULL);

        if (exifAttachments) 
        { // Attachments may be read or additional ones written

        }

        NSData *imageData = [AVCaptureStillImageOutput jpegStillImageNSDataRepresentation:imageDataSampleBuffer];
        UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];  

        ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
        /


        NSDictionary *newDict = (NSDictionary *)newMetadata;

        [library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[image CGImage] 
                                     metadata:newDict completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error)
         {
             if (error) 
             {

             }                                                                                               
         }];

        [library release];
        [image release];
        CFRelease(metadataDict);
        CFRelease(newMetadata);

    } 
    else if (error) 
    {

    }

}];

I had exactly the same problem. I think that the documentation on this topic is small, so I solved it at the end, looking at the metadata of the photo taken by the Camera application, and tried to reproduce it.

Here is a run of the properties that the camera application saves:

  • kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitude (NSNumber) ( )
  • kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitude (NSNumber) ( )
  • kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitudeRef (NSString) ( N, S)
  • kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitudeRef (NSString) ( E, W)
  • kCGImagePropertyGPSTimeStamp (NSString) ( 04: 30: 51,71 ( UTC))

, . :

CFDictionaryRef metaDict = CMCopyDictionaryOfAttachments(NULL, imageDataSampleBuffer, kCMAttachmentMode_ShouldPropagate);
CFMutableDictionaryRef mutable = CFDictionaryCreateMutableCopy(NULL, 0, metaDict);

NSDictionary *gpsDict = [NSDictionary 
  dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
  [NSNumber numberWithFloat:self.currentLocation.coordinate.latitude], kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitude,
  @"N", kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitudeRef,
  [NSNumber numberWithFloat:self.currentLocation.coordinate.longitude], kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitude,
  @"E", kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitudeRef,
  @"04:30:51.71", kCGImagePropertyGPSTimeStamp,
  nil];

CFDictionarySetValue(mutable, kCGImagePropertyGPSDictionary, gpsDict);

//  Get the image
NSData *imageData = [AVCaptureStillImageOutput  jpegStillImageNSDataRepresentation:imageDataSampleBuffer];
UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];

//  Get the assets library
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[image CGImage] metadata:mutable completionBlock:captureComplete];
