My app uses ALAssetsLibrary to get all photos from the user's device and upload them to our cloud server. I notice that from time to time users get a crash at [ALAssetRepresentation metadata] (see crash log below). I cannot get the same problem at my device with any photos. Is it a problem with a system photo library? How can I prevent this crashing?
Thank you
