WidgetKit Memory Issue - Photo Asset Dimensions

With iOS 14 WidgetKit, I am trying to display a widget with a 'particular' photo asset from the library. With a medium-size widget, I want the photo asset to fill the whole area (Aspect Fill), just like the native Photos widget.

Code Block 
struct My_WidgetEntryView : View 
{
	 var entry : Provider.Entry
	 var body: some View 
	 {
		 PhotoView(user: 1)
	 }
}
struct PhotoView: View 
{
														 var user						: Int
		@ObservedObject	private var assetImageModel = AssetImageModel()
		init(user: Int)
		{
				self.user = user
				self.assetImageModel.loadAsset()
		}
		var body: some View {
						if self.assetImageModel.assetImage != nil {
								Image(uiImage: self.assetImageModel.assetImage!)
										.resizable()
								
						} else {
								Image(uiImage: UIImage(systemName: "photo")!)
										.resizable()
						}
		}
}
class AssetImageModel: ObservableObject {
		@Published var assetImage: UIImage?
		init() {
				loadAsset()
		}
		func loadAsset() {
				if PHPhotoLibrary.authorizationStatus() == .authorized {
						let allPhotosOptions = PHFetchOptions()
						allPhotosOptions.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate", ascending: true)]
						let assetsFetchResults = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: allPhotosOptions)
						if assetsFetchResults.count > 0 {
								let asset = assetsFetchResults.lastObject
								if asset != nil {
										let options = PHImageRequestOptions()
										options.isSynchronous = true
										options.deliveryMode = .highQualityFormat
										options.resizeMode = .exact
										options.version = .current
										PHCachingImageManager().requestImage(for: asset!, targetSize: CGSize(width: 360 * UIScreen.main.scale, height: 170 * UIScreen.main.scale), contentMode: .aspectFill, options: options, resultHandler: { image, _ in
													
												//DispatchQueue.main.async {
													self.assetImage = image
												//}
 
										})
								} else {
										//Asset was nil
								}
						} else {
								//No assets
						}
				} else {
						//No persmission		
				}
		}
}

When the above is run, I get a crash with a memory warning stating allowed 30 MB memory limit has exceeded. This obvious due to this:

• For the medium-size widget, I had to go by a 360 x 170 point size since there was no way to get the actual view dimensions before the the view gets displayed.

• The actual target size then has to be multiplied by the screen scale, at the moment the test device is a 3x. Aspect Fill as to be the fill type. Due to this, PHCachingImageManageris returning a 360-point width with 480-point height for a portrait photo in order to fill the view. The final dimensions of the image end up being 1080 x 1440 pixel size. I imagine this is the reason for memory pressure.

Question

Is there a way to ask for a properly cropped 360 x 170 point size image? The stock Photos widget seems to manage this.

Things I Tried

* I tried normalizedCropRect in PHImageRequestOptions and had no luck.

• Lowering the image size by a huge margin works, but the image looks blurred visually.
