I tried using FileManager and Bundle class methods to read Assets.xcassets folder but it returns nil or some other file names. Is it even possible to read that catalog in iOS?

These are the methods I tried:

let fileManager = FileManager.default
let contents = fileManager.contentsOfDirectory(atPath: "")
let contents = contentsOfDirectory(at: assetURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: [URLResourceKey.nameKey, URLResourceKey.isDirectoryKey], options: .skipsHiddenFiles)
let contents = try? fileManager.subpathsOfDirectory(atPath: Bundle.main.resourcePath!)

Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.

interesting question. +1. But why would you need that? – vikingosegundo Jun 14 '18 at 18:06
I want to automate xcassets folder to generate swift file. Script written in Swift is ready but having hard time to read it and don't know if it can even read it. Another viable option is put the assets in normal folder but we don't want to consider the option. – coolly Jun 14 '18 at 18:15
I don't get what you want. – vikingosegundo Jun 14 '18 at 18:18
anyways, the use case that we use here is not something that could be explained in one or two comments. I would be better off on it. :) – coolly Jun 14 '18 at 18:28
Well, if people would understand your motives, they could point to alternatives fitting your requirements. – vikingosegundo Jun 14 '18 at 18:33
You can't, compare https://stackoverflow.com/a/30585987/1187415 and the links therein. – Martin R Jun 14 '18 at 19:06
Are you trying to get images? if so you can init an UIImage With UIImage(named: "SomeName") – cheesey Jun 14 '18 at 19:39

Have you seen this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33351108/get-data-from-xcasset-catalog – cheesey Jun 14 '18 at 19:46
yes, that method gets only data set but not the color set from .xcassets – coolly Jun 14 '18 at 19:56
