I updated to the beta3 version of xcode + iOS. After updating after running my widget it sometimes displays but most of the time it is just white, then all the other widgets just sit there flashing white including the Apple widgets such as Weather, Stocks etc.

Anybody else seeing this or know a workaround? I tried deleting the widget and the app and re-installing but nothing seems to fix it.

I'm on Beta 6 and still having this issue. I get it to work sometimes by deleting derived data, resetting simulator, creating a new branch and then it works for a few runs. Super annoying and I hope it gets more stable soon.

Getting a flash often too. i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong in func getSnapshot(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Entry) -> Void) I am just returning stub data to display in the widget gallery but from what i'm seeing in ios14, most of the apple apps seem to be fetching and updating data directly inside the widget gallery
