iOS 26.1 : les apps photo pourront enfin correctement sauvegarder en arrière-plan grâce à PhotoKit http://dlvr.it/TNt1xp #iOS261 #PhotoKit

TIL that if you requestImage a PHAsset using PHCachingImageManager and you cancel the task you have to use cancelImageRequest.
Otherwise you will find out how big the thread pool is. If you hit that limit, your application will hang.

My observation of the problem started with SwiftUI’s task modifier not being called anymore after a few interactions with a list triggering the image requests.
It was a long journey before I realised what was going on.

There’s a nice change in iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma for those that use Apps to edit their Photos and Videos. There is no longer a system prompt for the user to confirm they want the modifications to a photo to happen. If the App has either Full or Limited access, then they can save modifications without the user needing to confirm. This should greatly improve the user experience for things like bulk edits and automatic saving
Deletion requests still require a prompt.
