Description

Since upgrading to 1.2.4, both my phone (Google Pixel running GrapheneOS) and my wife’s (Samsung Galaxy S21) have stopped correctly displaying images with nonstandard colour profiles.

Any fix would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Research direction
Examine the image loading and rendering code in the Android Flutter app. Look for any recent changes to colour profile handling or image decoding. Check the platform channel for Android specific color space conversions. Focus on files in 'lib/' and 'android/app/src/main/' directories. Compare v1.2.4 with previous version to identify regression.
