Swiftui: How to snapshot a view then share?

I found this code for taking a snapshot of a view in SwiftUI, and also found this gist for how to bring up UIActivityController in SwiftUI. It works ok but the biggest issue I am having is when you tap share the UIActivityController is blank, if you tap share again it will work as expected but I can't figure out why it doesn't work the first time? If I change to a static image or text to share it works as expected? Any thoughts?

 import SwiftUI

//construct enum to decide which sheet to present:
enum ActiveSheet: String, Identifiable { // <--- note that it's now Identifiable
    case photoLibrary, shareSheet
    var id: String {
        return self.rawValue
    }
}

struct ShareHomeView: View {
    
    @State private var shareCardAsImage: UIImage? = nil
    
    @State var activeSheet: ActiveSheet? = nil // <--- now an optional property
    
    var shareCard: some View {
        ZStack {
            VStack {
                Spacer()
                LinearGradient(
                    gradient: Gradient(colors: [.black, .red]),
                    startPoint: .topLeading,
                    endPoint: .bottomTrailing
                )
                    .cornerRadius(10.0)
                    .padding(.horizontal)
                Spacer()
            }
            SubView()
                .padding(.horizontal)
            VStack {
