"PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization" not asking permissions in iOS 9

Question

It's not asking permissions for gallery in iOS 9 but in iOS 8 it works fine. Maybe I need any permission key in info.plist?

 PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization({ (status) -> Void in

 })

This issue appear in iOS 9 when your application Info.plist file contains a key: "CFBundleDisplayName" with empty string value.

You can enter your app name there and it should work.

key {Bundle display name} value $(PRODUCT_NAME)

same problem founded there and solution App does not have access to your photos or videos iOS 9

After adding Bundle display name to plist, delete app, cleaned, removed DerivedData... Nothing... Not woking. Can't get it to show the permission popup again. – bauerMusic Jan 29 '16 at 11:09

You do not need a key in your info.plist. First be sure:

Import the Photos.framework via Link Binary With Libraries

Import Photos into your View Controller

    let status = PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus()

    if status == .Authorized {            
        //  Permission Authorized       
    } else if status == .Restricted {            
        //  Permission Restricted
    } else if status == .NotDetermined {        
        //  Permission Not Determined
    } else if status == .Denied {        
        //  Permission Denied
    }

and if we get into the condition of not determined how to we get the iOS permission prompt to appear? — user2363025, Oct 27 '15 at 10:00
