Setting MIME type before picking data

[Elamuruga]

@samsymons @jgritman @ScottPetit @jotaemepereira Is it possible to display a list of data in the picker view which matches our preferable MIME-type. i.e) We need to fetch only .mov means we need to display .mov files alone in the list. If this feature is available it will be very very useful. Could you please help me with this? Thanks in advance

@Elamuruga So as you've described isn't exactly possible using Apples APIs. I pushed up a new branch https://github.com/helpscout/HSAttachmentPicker/tree/feature/customizing-document-image-types that adds public access to what is passed to the UIImagePickerViewController and PHPickerConfiguration. You could set
picker.mediaTypes = [(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie] on iOS 13 and picker.pickerFilters = [PHPickerFilter.videosFilter] on iOS 14 to only show video types. I'll see about getting a PR open from that branch.

@ScottPetit Thank you a lot for your immediate response. The same approach we can follow to filter image, audio, camera for image and camera to take video, etc.. know? Could you please help me with this? If it is please verify this branch and merge this to in master it will be very useful. Thanks in advance

@Elamuruga no this doesn't apply to camera capture and I'm not sure that's possible with the API that's currently being used. If so feel free to open a PR to address it.
