Thanks for the warning. I have not noticed this being an issue on Mac during my testing, I am always getting a non-blank snapshot on from my machines. I can do some stress testing to confirm. Since Mac is using a software snapshot, it should not be as impacted by hardware race conditions. I see there was an issues a few years ago on the iOS API I am calling but it was fixed with https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146476. Tim mentions some other edge cases in that bug, but I do not have the specific cases. The iOS API has been available for a few years, so I am assuming it works reliably.
