Does imagemagick need an update to support HEIC photos from latest iOS?

Thanks @ncfuser for providing this answer! I will give it a shot. The fix is coming in a future release of AIO but the timeline for that is unclear, so I am keen to find an interim fix.

The answer from that link:

Try the libheif ppa which hosts an updated version of libheif (otherwise, later versions of libheif will only appear in the official repositories of later versions of Ubuntu. Non-security updates are not backported). Open a terminal and enter the following commands one by one.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/libheif
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install libheif
sudo apt install libheif-plugin-libde265 libheif-plugin-aomenc libgd3 libheif1

As per the GitHub issue, the version 1.18.2 in the PPA (as of 31st October 2024) should contain the fix for this issue.

Edit: I verified that it works with the latest version of libheif on Arch Linux. (I tested the example HEIC file in the GitHub issue). Therefore, updating libheif on Ubuntu should fix the issue as well.

I am relying on AIO so will have to find a way to update libheif inside the AIO docker container. Tried this out recently but was not successful. Is there a way to add the above to the command to start the master container? :thinking:
