This type must support the content type of the attachment. ## Return Value A value of the `Transferable` type produced by the media data, or `nil` if there is no media data for the attachment as that type. ## Discussion For example, PNG image data can be extracted as a specific type from the metadata if available: ```swift let value = try await metadata.media(.image, as: SwiftUI.Image.self) // `value` is a `SwiftUI.Image?` ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
