ImageRenderer iOS 16

In this video we dive into the iOS ImageRenderer frameworks for SwiftUI.
Learn how to generate images from your views and share them using the new ShareLink method introduced in iOS 16
We will be looking at generating images from our views and I will be using 2 different examples

One will be to generate an image from a view that has a fixed frame size and the other where the view's size is determined by the amount of space made available by the device screen and layout.

We will look at some best practices for avoiding issues with transparency and resolution.

wonderful tutorial, thank you for sharing!

I realised that setting a value for "Privacy - Photo Library Additions Usage Description" key in info.plist will make the "Save Image" option appear in the share sheet.

Great Tutorial, but I find that the Geometry Reader is unnecessary when I run in a simulator every a small iPhone SE, or to my iPhone 13. The rendered image is small and fits into the image template. Has Apple fixed something or am I misunderstanding something?

So awesome, thank you so much for this video!

Great lesson Stewart. Had one issue though, when rendering the image, the image showed flipped along the horizontal axis. When I saved the share, the image was okay. Went over the coding again but could find nothing wrong. I downloaded your completed version, and it produced the same results. It might be related the to the Xcode version. my version is 14.2 and i was running the simulator with an iPhone 14 pro.
