How to get the path of an image?

How can I get the path or directory of the PHAsset images?

I came across an answer here written by @diegomen but when I try it like selectedAssets[0].PHAsset.getURL() it asks for a parameter but @diegomen said it doesn't require a parameter from the comments.

Am I applying it wrong?

Or is there other way of getting the images path from PHAsset?

NOTE: I found another solution here by @Clay but it doesn't seem to be the good practice to do it.

If you have already store image in your local file path and you want to retrive the image file Path from your PHAsset image address then use this function:

[asset requestContentEditingInputWithOptions:[PHContentEditingInputRequestOptions new] completionHandler:^(PHContentEditingInput *contentEditingInput, NSDictionary *info) {
    NSURL *imageURL = contentEditingInput.fullSizeImageURL;
    }];

asset=PHAsset *asset

You should store image to local file. After that you will have file url.

NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage);

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *imagePath =[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png",@"cached"]];
[imageData writeToFile:imagePath atomically:NO];
