Hey,

this is not a bug. URLImage view won't work with WidgetKit as is: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/652581

The only way to make it work is to preload image and display cached one. There's no convenient API yet, but if you really want to make it work, you can use underlying RemoteImage directly. Here's a sample how to do it: https://gist.github.com/dmytro-anokhin/2d4c2ab6145bc20e74381b1d278a08fb

It also should work if the host app downloaded the image.

I'm working on improving preload API.

Cheers.
