Using the following code on my IBACTION to put my UIImageview > UIImage > PNG in photo

However, when I press my IBACTION, the image is not in my gallery

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.theView.bounds.size, view.isOpaque, 0)
    theView.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
    let theCapturedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    let data = theCapturedImage!.pngData()
    let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).appendingPathComponent(NSUUID().uuidString+".dat")
    do {
        try data!.write(to: url!, options: [])
    } catch let e as NSError {
        print("Error! \(e)");
        return

Instead of writing the data to the temporary directory, try this inside the do block: 

let image = UIImage(data: data)
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(data, nil, nil, nil)

Remember to ask for the necessary permissions to save into the gallery, by setting the Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description key with an appropriate description in info.plist.
