How to set a mediaSubtype on a PHAsset created by the app





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm creating an app that is intended to output an image with a custom depth map. I've managed to do this after a little bit of fiddling and it works nicely. However, despite having both a depth map and a portrait matte effect, and despite my being able to load and use these successfully within my app, the asset still does not have the correct media subtype (PHAssetMediaSubtype.photoDepthEffect). This is important to me since I want to filter the user's gallery and display only those images which contain a depth effect, and the proper way to do that is to query the media subtype.



Does anyone know what has to be done to ensure this subtype is properly set? I cannot find a way to change it, and can only assume that the system infers it from the asset's auxiliary data.
