## What it is
CTAssetsPickerController is a highly customizable iOS Objective-C library that lets users pick multiple photos and videos from their photo library, with a look and feel similar to UIImagePickerController. It supports asset filtering, iCloud assets, selection ordering, localization, and UIAppearance/UIAccessibility protocols.

## Use cases
- pick multiple photos and videos from the iOS photo library
- let users select media across albums in an iOS app
- filter photo picker to only photos or only videos
- preview assets with a long-press gesture in a media picker
- support picking assets stored in iCloud
- show selection order when users pick multiple assets

## When to avoid
- starting a new Swift project — development was suspended in 2016 and the last release was 2020
- you need ongoing maintenance, modern iOS support, or Swift Package Manager integration
- you only need single-photo picking, where PHPickerViewController suffices
