Current behavior

I am just trying to get a PrivatKey for BTC Mainnet & a PublicKey & the corresponding Adress to this Private Key and fought this should do it:

let privateKey = PrivateKey(network: .mainnetBTC) let publicKey = privateKey.publicKey() let address = publicKey.toLegacy() print(privateKey) print(address)

I am getting this:

9f4e4c225894843a31338ed9164ebf31f280f2c8ac7015bfef2113354051ff91 1H97FP8nb7Q6yPnWH6MjKHryhkHsYDD2tt

Yes there is an Adress but this privatKey is not valid.

Is there a simple way to accomplish what I am searching for?

privateKey.toWIF()
