Though coding : 

1. Create a new project in xcode and name it as addImageInPhotoGallery.
2. Add the image(Ref step 3 of .....) which you want to add in photo gallery in Resource folder of project.
3. Open addImageInPhotoGallery.m, and write this code :

 - (void)viewDidLoad {
    

//suppose you have added photo.png in resource folder.

UIImage *sampleImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.png"];
    

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(sampleImage, self, @selector(image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);
   
 [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void) image:(UIImage *) image didFinishSavingWithError:(NSError *) error contextInfo:(void *) contextInfo {
    UIAlertView *alert;
   
    // Unable to save the image 
    if (error)
        alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error"
                                           message:@"Unable to save image to Photo Album."
                                          delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                                 otherButtonTitles:nil];
    else // All is well
        alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Success"
                                           message:@"Image saved to Photo Album."
                                          delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                                 otherButtonTitles:nil];
