SwiftUI - Initial Selection from UIImagePickerController Does Not Appear

[test-ArG5R4aR78]

Hello,

Only for the initial render, BSImagePicker does not seem to display the images that Core UIKit UIImagePickerController has provided access to. Re-opening the BSImagePicker does however display them.

I've included the SwiftUI code and a .mov file showing this behavior. How can developers make the initial display of the selected images identical to the behavior when BSImagePicker is re-opened?

I am using 750f26a git ref. Tag 3.3.1.

Thank you for your help, and thank you for developing this piece of software.

struct ContentView: View {
    @StateObject var imagePickerCoordinatorView = ImagePickerCoordinatorView()
    @State var isPresentedImagePicker = false
    
    var body: some View {
        Button("Open BSImagePicker") {
            self.isPresentedImagePicker = true
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: self.$isPresentedImagePicker, content: {
            imagePickerCoordinatorView
        })
        
        if let list = imagePickerCoordinatorView.selectedAssets {
            Text("\(list.count) images selected")
        } else {
            Text("No images selected")
        }
    }
}

If you are using the delegate and presenting the image picker yourself you also need to request permission to the photo library before presenting the picker.

I have the same issue. Any update on this?

@AntonClaesson did you find any solution for this. I am stuck now at this point for more than 3 days.
