IoS / Swift - How to display images from the iphone 's albums into a uicollection view?

Question

I would like to display all the photos from the phone's album/gallery into a view controller by making use of the UICollectionView.

I simply do not know how to retrieve all the images from the albums and automatically displaying them. UIImagePicker allows the user to choose the image but in my case I would like the app to retrieve the photos - without user intervention - and then display them on a collection view.

Can you please hint me on how to get this done?

good question. People starting iOS dev from scratch may not know about the Photos framework!!!! — cptdanko, Aug 14 '16 at 07:56
