Saving an animated gif from AppData to photo album - iOS 11

Question

How do you save a gif from the Documents or AppData folder (or otherwise known path) to the Photo Album for iOS 11?

Example of a known path: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/[app uuid]/Documents/filename.gif

Older versions of this question keep referencing deprecated ALA*. How do you do this for iOS 11?

    [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{
        PHAssetResourceCreationOptions *options = [[PHAssetResourceCreationOptions alloc] init];
        [[PHAssetCreationRequest creationRequestForAsset] addResourceWithType:PHAssetResourceTypePhoto data:data options:options];
    } completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError * _Nullable error) {
