Your question

I use UnityNativeShare asset to share Photos. I can feed it with Video File.

In my App, Video Captures are saved into iOS Photos since your plugin allows it. The resulting path in handler.Path like: "avpmc-photolibrary:///AR_Masker_2024-05-24_12-57-52_1244x2688.mp4" can not be used to Share video file due to iOS limitations as I understand: "Share Error: file does not exist at path or permission denied: avpmc-photolibrary:///AR Masker/AR_Masker_2024-05-24_14-06-18_1244x2688.mp4"

Is there a way to get the captured video file from memory, cache, whatever to share it later and at the same time staying with the option of Saving into Photos by AVProMovieCapture?

I also tested with "Full Access" granted permission to Photos and had no success.

Are you using PhotoLibraryAccessLevel set to ReadWrite instead of AddOnly? https://renderheads.com/content/docs/AVProMovieCapture/api/RenderHeads.Media.AVProMovieCapture.CaptureBase.PhotoLibraryAccessLevel.html?q=PhotoLibraryAccessLevel

avpmc-photolibrary:// is an internal scheme so we know to copy the captured video into the photo library and as such does not actually reference anything on the device.

We'll look into adding functionality to get the final url of the captured video in the photo library.

[MorrisRH]

This has been added and will make it into the next release.

You can get the final file URL by adding a completed file writing action as shown here:

    capture.CompletedFileWritingAction += delegate(FileWritingHandler fwh) {
        string finalFilePath = fwh.FinalPath;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(finalFilePath) {
            // do something...
        }
    };
