can't call this extension inside of a viewController. I'm getting this error 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[PHPhotoLibrary init] unsupported'. any suggestion?

Getting the same issue here

i have not tried this actual extension code, but i was getting the error 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[PHPhotoLibrary init] unsupported'. and the reason was that i was trying to do "var library: PHPhotoLibrary = PHPhotoLibrary()" instead of using the PHPhotoLibrary.shared(). Maybe not the reason y'all are having the issue, but i'm posting this here because i was getting that same error and resolved it by not doing that.

Really helpful, thanks a lot for shearing
