I\'m trying to change a SwiftUI Color to an instance of UIColor.
I can easily get the RGBA from the UIColor, but I don\'t know how to get the "Color" instan
Currently, this is not directly made available in the SwiftUI API. However, I managed to get a makeshift initializer working that utilizes debug prints and dump. I found that all of the other solutions failed to account for a Color initialized from a name, a bundle, the .displayP3 color space, a UIColor, a static system Color, or any color whose opacity altered. My solution accounts for all of the aforementioned downfalls.

@available(*, deprecated, message: "This is fragile and likely to break at some point. Hopefully it won't be required for long.")
var uiColor: UIColor {
do {
return try convertToUIColor()
} catch let error {
assertionFailure((error as! ColorConversionError).reason)
return .black
}
}
}

Note: While this is not a long-term solution for the problem at hand since it hinges on the implementation details of Color which may change at some point, it should work in the interim for most, if not all colors.
