Upload Image / Video from assets library to S3

[ndbroadbent]

It seems that AWSS3TransferManager does not support uploading files directly from the assets library. I'm seeing this error in my logs:

Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 260.)" UserInfo=0x7ff40850a7a0 {NSFilePath=/asset.mov, NSUnderlyingError=0x7ff40850ae30 "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory"}

My AWSS3TransferManagerUploadRequest looks like this:

<AWSS3TransferManagerUploadRequest: 0x7ff4023e2d30> {
    ACL = 0;
    body = "assets-library://asset/asset.mov?id=BCDF906D-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-3AEA235DFF35&ext=mov";
    bucket = "****-uploads";
    currentUploadingPartNumber = 0;
    key = "**********.mov";
    serverSideEncryption = 0;
    state = 0;
    storageClass = 0;
    totalSuccessfullySentPartsDataLength = 0;
}

I think it's having trouble with the assets-library:// protocol. It would be awesome if the AWS iOS SDK could handle this properly, maybe by using the getBytes function on ALAssetRepresentation.

Otherwise, how should I approach this? Should I just copy the asset data to a temporary file before each upload?

Thanks!

The asset library is currently not supported. You need to copy the assets to your app directory before initiating uploads. We are considering adding the assets library support in a future version.

AWS SDK developers you should totally implement support for this, it would really help performance of apps that upload photos to the cloud!

+1, After Parse shutdown - AWS has good chance to pick grip on MBAAS.
