TnvMadhav | How to Take Screenshots of Views in SwiftUI

In SwiftUI, you can use ImageRenderer1 to take screenshots or images as an UIImage object for any SwiftUI view. Let’s consider a simple Text view in SwiftUI. The goal is to take a snapshot of it using ImageRenderer object. This is how this renders in the Xcode iOS device simulator Now, let’s try to create a snapshot of this view using ImageRenderer feature. 💡 If the view gets complex, which it inevitably does, it’s better to define it in a function or variable so that it can be reused in snapshot function without too much duplication. I’ve abstracted the view to be captured, in it’s own variable to clean up duplicate code, The modifiers and annotations around the snapshot image is so that the view and the related ‘snapshot’ are presented cleanly in the demonstration This is the simplest implementation of ImageRenderer in action. To understand how awesome this is, I would like to demonstrate a cool experiment below. Let’s say the view contains a variable that changes in real-time. We w
