Convert SwiftUI Color to UIColor

Question

I want to convert SwiftUI view Color to UIKit UIcolor component. I have tried several ways and also refer the StackOverflow already given answers, But they did not work. It was also mentioned by some users in those posts. I have gone through the below code which is proposed by turingtested

but this is not working. Any suggestions or help is really appreciated.

fileprivate extension Color {
    func uiColor() -> UIColor {
        let components = self.components()
        return UIColor(red: components.r, green: components.g, blue: components.b, alpha: components.a)
    }
    private func components() -> (r: CGFloat, g: CGFloat, b: CGFloat, a: CGFloat) {
        let scanner = Scanner(string: self.description.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.alphanumerics.inverted))
        var hexNumber: UInt64 = 0
        var r: CGFloat = 0.0, g: CGFloat = 0.0, b: CGFloat = 0.0, a: CGFloat = 0.0
        let result = scanner.scanHexInt64(&hexNumber)
        if result {
            r = CGFloat((hexNumber & 0xff000000) >> 24) / 255
            g = CGFloat((hexNumber & 0x00ff0000) >> 16) / 255
            b = CGFloat((hexNumber & 0x0000ff00) >> 8) / 255
            a = CGFloat(hexNumber & 0x000000ff) / 255
        }
    return (r, g, b, a)
    }
}

If you are looking for an up-to-date answer:

From iOS 14 onward, the UIColor class has an initializer, which takes a SwiftUI color as argument: UIColor(Color.red).
