title: Disable confirmation on delete request in PHPhotoLibrary
body: <p>What I am trying to do is to save videos to PHPhotoLibrary, and then remove them when upload to clients remote server in the application completes (basically, photo library serves as temporary storage to add additional layer of security in case anything at all fails (I already save my vides it in the applications directory). </p>
  
  <p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The problem is for that to work, everything has to work without input from the user. You can write video to photos library like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>func storeVideoToLibraryForUpload(upload : SMUpload) {
  
      if PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus() != PHAuthorizationStatus.Authorized {
  
          // Don't write to library since this is disallowed by user
          return
      }
  
      PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({ () -&gt; Void in
  
          // Write asset
          let assetRequest = PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideoAtFileURL(NSURL(fileURLWithPath: upload.nonsecureFilePath!)!)
          let assetPlaceholder = assetRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset
          let localIdentifier = assetPlaceholder.localIdentifier
  
          // Store local identifier for later use
          upload.localAssetIdentifier = localIdentifier
  
      }, completionHandler: { (success, error) -&gt; Void in
          ....
      })
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that works flawlessly, I get local identifier, I store it for later use.. Unicorns and rainbows.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I want to remove that video immediately after upload finishes, I call following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>func removeVideoFromLibraryForUpload(upload : SMUpload) {
  
      // Only proceed if there is asset identifier (video previously stored)
      if let assetIdentifier = upload.localAssetIdentifier {
  
          // Find asset that we previously stored
          let assets = PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithLocalIdentifiers([assetIdentifier], options: PHFetchOptions())
  
          // Fetch asset, if found, delete it
          if let fetchedAssets = assets.firstObject as? PHAsset {
  
              PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({ () -&gt; Void in
  
                  // Delete asset
                  PHAssetChangeRequest.deleteAssets([fetchedAssets])
  
              }, completionHandler: { (success, error) -&gt; Void in
                  ...
              })
          } 
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which successfully deletes the video, BUT user have to confirm deletion first. That is a problem as that backing up won't work.</p>
  
  <p>I obviously know why there is confirmation (so you don't clear entire user library for example, but the thing is, My app made the video - and so I thought there will be way around it, since as an "owner" I should not be doing that, or at least have option to disable confirmation.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p><strong>TLDR</strong>: How can I disable confirmation on delete request, if my application created that content? (I don't want to delete anything else).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> Somebody can probably say this is rather strange thing to do but the application is distributed internally and there is good reason to do it like this (the video content is too valuable to be lost, even if user deletes the application for some reason, or there is anything at all that goes wrong, we need to be able to preserve the videos), so please don't question that and just focus your attention on the question :)</p>
