I believe iOS devices default to HEIF file format which can be patent encumbered: T211745

Hi @Commander_Keane great flag, that will need to be a subtask for the prototype. My understanding is we could use APIs to perform file conversion to JPEG and PNG, or UIKit has some methods we could leverage.
