Resize UIImage to 200x200pt/px

Question

I have been struggling resizing an image. Basically I have stumpled upon: How to scale down a UIImage and make it crispy / sharp at the same time instead of blurry?

This is a continuation to @Christoph R 's answer posted for Swift 3.0. This code works for Swift 5.0.1.

static func resizeImage(image: UIImage, newWidth: CGFloat) -> UIImage {

    let scale = newWidth / image.size.width
    let newHeight = image.size.height * scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width: newWidth, height: newHeight))
    image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newWidth, height: newHeight))
    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage!
}
