Hi, I would like to ask a question

[GuannanMeng]

Hi, I want to ask a question about appium. It may not be related to appiumwizard. My project is based on wdio+appium. I want to add pictures or videos to the iPhone's Photos app on iOS devices through automation. But I found that XCUITest does not have a related API. I searched for related articles and it seems that I can only upload the file to the sandbox folder of Documents first. Then share the file to Photos by simulating a click. Then I tried to modify the wda project. I added a method. And tried to pass
await driver.executeScript('mobile:addFileToPhotos', videoPath);
to add videos to the Photos app.
But when executing it, it will prompt
2025-02-12T09:22:14.369Z WARN webdriver: WebDriverError: Method is not implemented when running "execute/sync" with method "POST" and args "mobile:addFileToPhotos" [0-0] 2025-02-12T09:22:14.369Z INFO webdriver: Retrying 3/5 [0-0] 2025-02-12T09:22:14.369Z INFO webdriver: [POST] http://127.0.0.1:4723/session/9000586d-49c2-49c1-abae-fa02f45c6dfb/execute/sync [0-0] 2025-02-12T09:22:14.369Z INFO webdriver: DATA { [0-0] script: 'mobile:addFileToPhotos', [0-0] args: [ [0-0] '/Users/mengguannan/TikTokVideos/fenping/output/UPLOADED/08201.mp4' [0-0] ] [0-0] }

Here is the code:

[[FBRoute POST:@"/wda/addFileToPhotos"] respondWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleAddFileToPhotosCommand:)],

`+ (id)handleAddFileToPhotosCommand:(FBRouteRequest *)request
{
NSString *filePath = request.arguments[@"filePath"];

NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
PHPhotoLibrary *photoLibrary = [PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary];

// 
__block NSError *error = nil;
__block BOOL success = NO;

NSString *fileExtension = [fileURL pathExtension].lowercaseString;

if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"mp4"] || [fileExtension isEqualToString:@"mov"]) {
    // Video Files
    [photoLibrary performChanges:^{
        PHAssetChangeRequest *assetChangeRequest = [PHAssetChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetFromVideoAtFileURL:fileURL];
        PHObjectPlaceholder *placeholder = assetChangeRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset;
        
        if (placeholder) {
            PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest *assetCollectionChangeRequest = [PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetCollectionWithTitle:@"UploadedVideos"];
            [assetCollectionChangeRequest addAssets:@[placeholder]]; // 确保placeholder不是nil
        } else {
            // 
            NSLog(@"Failed to create video asset placeholder");
        }
    } completionHandler:^(BOOL completed, NSError * _Nullable completionError) {
        success = completed; // 
        error = completionError; // 
    }];
} else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"jpg"] || [fileExtension isEqualToString:@"png"]) {
    // Image Files
    [photoLibrary performChanges:^{
        PHAssetChangeRequest *assetChangeRequest = [PHAssetChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetFromImageAtFileURL:fileURL];
        PHObjectPlaceholder *placeholder = assetChangeRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset;
        
        if (placeholder) {
            PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest *assetCollectionChangeRequest = [PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetCollectionWithTitle:@"UploadedPhotos"];
            [assetCollectionChangeRequest addAssets:@[placeholder]]; // 确保placeholder不是nil
        } else {
            // 
            NSLog(@"Failed to create image asset placeholder");
        }
    } completionHandler:^(BOOL completed, NSError * _Nullable completionError) {
        success = completed; //
        error = completionError; // 
    }];
}

if (success) {
    return FBResponseWithOK();
} else {
    return FBResponseWithStatus([FBCommandStatus unknownErrorWithMessage:error.localizedDescription traceback:nil]);
}

}`

Is there any way to add pictures to Photos? Maybe it doesn't require modifying the wda project (I'm too sure, this is just a guess)
May I ask if you know anything about this. Could you help me solve this problem? Thank you very much.
