"https://goo.gl/maps/8cu9dtwedbn" is a shared link from google maps. In most of the cases we getting "This URL cannot be opened" and localised description as "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SwiftLinkPreview.PreviewError error 2.)". And if it successful then also we are unable to get image.

Links like those have many redirections, sometimes they block scraping, most of the times they load images dynamically (by javascript), etc. Those behaviors cannot be predicted by the app, since the app gets the static HTML code.
