AVURLAsset getting video size

Question

This is pretty frustrating. I'm trying to get the size of an AVURLasset, but try to avoid naturalSize since Xcode tells me, this is deprecated in iOS5.

But: What's the replacement?

I can't find any clue on how to get the video-dimensions without using «naturalsize»...

Answer 1

Resolution in Swift 3:

func resolutionSizeForLocalVideo(url:NSURL) -> CGSize? {
    guard let track = AVAsset(URL: url).tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo).first else { return nil }
    let size = CGSizeApplyAffineTransform(track.naturalSize, track.preferredTransform)
    return CGSize(width: fabs(size.width), height: fabs(size.height))
}

For Swift 4:

func resolutionSizeForLocalVideo(url:NSURL) -> CGSize? {
    guard let track = AVAsset(url: url as URL).tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video).first else { return nil }
    let size = track.naturalSize.applying(track.preferredTransform)
    return CGSize(width: fabs(size.width), height: fabs(size.height))
}

Solutions without preferredTransform do not return correct values for some videos on the latest devices!
