    I tried using iphone-exif and it just wasn’t working in my project. Saw a lot of people getting the same errors as me.

    Good news is I found another solution…

        NSDictionary *IPTCDict;
    
        NSString *urlString = @"http://SOMEIMAGEURL.jpg";
        NSMutableData *photoData = [NSMutableData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
        CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((__bridge CFDataRef)photoData, NULL);
        NSDictionary *metadata = (__bridge NSDictionary *)CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, 0, NULL);
        NSLog(@"Meta: %@", metadata);  //Will print out all the metadata
    
        // Pulls out the IPTC data
        IPTCDict = [metadata objectForKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyIPTCDictionary];
    
        NSLog(@"Caption: %@\nCopyright: %@", [IPTCDict objectForKey:@"Caption/Abstract"],      [IPTCDict objectForKey:@"CopyrightNotice"]);
