iOS 8 UIImage Metadata - uiimage

Question

This is my first question
I've a a "little" problem:
when i read UIImage metadata on iOS 7 I use this code and it works great
#pragma mark - Image Picker Controller delegate methods
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
UIImage* image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
[self metaDataFromAssetLibrary:info];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
From imagePickerController i choose the image and call metaDataFromAssetLibrary method
- (void) metaDataFromAssetLibrary:(NSDictionary*)info
{
NSURL *assetURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL];
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library assetForURL:assetURL
resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) {
NSMutableDictionary *imageMetadata = nil;
NSDictionary *metadata = asset.defaultRepresentation.metadata;
imageMetadata = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:metadata];
NSLog (#"imageMetaData from AssetLibrary %#",imageMetadata);
}
failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog (#"error %#",error);
}];
}
on Xcode5 and iOS7 console return something like this
imageMetaData from AssetLibrary {
ColorModel = RGB;
DPIHeight = 72;
DPIWidth = 72;
Depth = 8;
Orientation = 1;
PixelHeight = 2448;
PixelWidth = 3264;

};
}
But on Xcode6 and iOS 8 console return only this
imageMetaData from AssetLibrary {
ColorModel = RGB;
DPIHeight = 72;
DPIWidth = 72;
Depth = 8;
Orientation = 1;
PixelHeight = 768;
PixelWidth = 1020;
"{Exif}" = {

);
ExifVersion = (
2,
2,
1
);
FlashPixVersion = (
1,
0
);
PixelXDimension = 1020;
PixelYDimension = 768;
SceneCaptureType = 0;
};
"{TIFF}" = {
Orientation = 1;
ResolutionUnit = 2;
XResolution = 72;
YResolution = 72;
};
}
someone knows this problem?
any solution or suggestion?
Thank you so much
P.S.: excuse me for my terrible english ;-)

After upgrade to Xcode6, you have to get the image in dismissViewController's completion block, or more complex method: get the image from asset.
Please try the following code:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion::^{
UIImage* image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
[self metaDataFromAssetLibrary:info];
}];
Also you can reference john.k.doe's answer in
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo return nil photo
