iOS selecting pictures from photo library programmatically - objective-c

I've got a question. Is there possiblity to select from code a given set of pictures from iOS device photos library? I don't want to use UIImagePickerController because I want to decide for user which pictures I want to refer to in my application.
Didn't find anything viable because all questions are about or related to UIImagePickerController.

Hints for you
You can use The Assets Library Framework. Read the documentation: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AssetsLibrary/Reference/AssetsLibraryFramework/_index.html
Or you can use some of the code from: http://www.fiveminutes.eu/accessing-photo-library-using-assets-library-framework-on-iphone/

React native image annotations containing a link to a site

I am a complete beginner at react-native. I am trying to create an app where i can take multiple photos and add a tag/label with a link to a website to each of the photos. These links when tapped need to take the user to the specified website. I also want to be able to save all of the tags along with the images for later in the app. I have found some resources(components) regarding this but as a beginner, i do not know how to use any of them. I am listing these below. If anyone can help to use these or give me any direction as to how i can make this project, i would be really grateful.

React Native Multiple Images Picker

The problem
So, I am developing a react native application and I am facing the callenge of selecting multiple images from the user gallery. Just like apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter and even Reddit do. So with that in mind, i tried to use launchImageLibraryAsync from expo-image-picker but, as specified in their documentation, the "multiple selecion" of images is only supported on the web.
What I have thinked of
So, based on several searches, it seemed like i had to build my own "Gallery". To do this, so far i've tried to use #react-native-community/cameraroll and expo-media-library, but both of them requires that we pass the first property to the getPhotos (for #react-native-community/cameraroll) or to the getAssetsAsync (for expo-media-library) functions, which defines the first items to be fetched. This is a problem because I do not want to fetch like 20 items and then, when the user reaches the end of the list, it fetches more 20 items. I need something like this (this example is from Telegram). You can see that the app never stops me from scrolling, it goes all the way through my entire gallery.
What would also be nice
If you use reddit mobile, you can see that you can also select multiple photos using the several Apps like Google Photos, Files, Google Drive and so on.
This would be even nicer because I wouldn't need to implement a custom made Picker. Do you guys know how could I implement this?
OBS: I am using Expo with Bare Workflow, so I can use just about any package. I also opened a discussion at the Expo repo about it. You can check it here: https://github.com/expo/expo/discussions/15210.
Thank you in advance :)
I have been using this package called expo-images-picker check it out. It has similar function to what you need. It works in Mobile as well.

Codename one Camera app

I'm trying to build sort of a Camera app using Codename one, taking a picture is no problem. But streaming camera feed to the background, like it is on a regular camera on mobile phones, so you can actually see what you're about to film or photograph.
We don't currently support some of the more elaborate AR API's introduced by Google/Apple but we do support placing a camera view finder right into your app with a new cn1lib: https://github.com/codenameone/CameraKitCodenameOne
Since this is implemented in a library you can effectively edit the native code and add functionality as needed.
The original answer is out of date by now I'm keeping the original answer below for reference:
You can record video or take a photo with Codename One.
However, augmented reality type applications where you can place elements on top of the camera viewfinder are currently not supported by Codename One. This functionality is somewhat platform specific and hard to implement in a portable manner.

Which one is the folder containing iPhone/iPad images

I'm developing an application and I'd like to list the images present in the "Documents" directory of my application (to load images using iTunes) and I'd like to list the images and photos taken by the Camera as well.
And I do know about UIImagePickerController, but I don't need that. I want to integrate the photos and the loaded application images in the same place. But I can't find any information about where can I find all the device camera photos.
Thanks in advance
You can access all the photos stored in the photo library using the Assets Library Framework. Check out the documentation here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AssetsLibrary/Reference/AssetsLibraryFramework/_index.html
Specifically, you want to use ALAssetsLibrary's enumerateGroupsWithTypes:usingBlock:failureBlock: to enumerate the ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos type, and enumerate the photos in that group with ALAssetGroup's enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:.

Displaying image on Scroll View

I am developing an iPhone application where i want to display three image in each row on scroll view where i need to click action on each image like Photo album in iPhone. I am not getting any sample code.
Hoping for help

There's plenty of sample code out there, I found this after only basic googling. You want to search for "UIImageView Iphone". It's also worth mentioning that Apple's very own Developer Center is extremely well written, and will teach you everything you need to know about iPhone programming.
Generally it is frowned down upon to say to look more or read documentation, but you really haven't looked at all. Especially because of Apple's own resource that tells you how to do almost anything, especially something like this. It's not something you can pick up and bits and pieces of and expect to be successful with, it really should be learned starting from the beginning and moving forward. This is especially true if you've never programmed before or are unfamiliar with C/Objective-C.
Three20 has a photo browser that is open source and works similarly to the iPhone's photo browser with some nice code examples. The images come from an image source object that can relate them to images in your apps bundle or images on the web. Looks like its Google group is here. I think that to use images in your bundle you use a URL formed like: bundle://image-name.png and not the typical use of the main bundle to get a path to resource.
