Did you allow the use of Photos in your app? you need to add in info.plist file this key "Privacy - Camera Usage Description" with a message, let me know if solves your issue — Reinier Melian, Jan 08 '19 at 10:10

Please try this: In your UIImagePickerControllerDelegate:

   func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
    if let asset = info[UIImagePickerControllerPHAsset] as? PHAsset {
        let assetResources = PHAssetResource.assetResources(for: asset)

        print(assetResources.first!.originalFilename)
    }

    dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

It may helps you. Thank you.
