Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Any plans to support animated images such as gif/animated webp on multiplatform?

Describe the solution you'd like Right now only Android platforms can play animated images, on iOS it will only show the first frame of the image

Additional context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Coil decodes animated images on Android (e.g., ImageDecoder for GIF/WebP) and explore iOS support using NSData or CGImageSource for animated image decoding. Consider using a multiplatform library like Ktor or a custom decoder for iOS.
