Are animated images like webp or gif supported on Android?

Hi team! I'm trying to integrate Nitro Image into our app but I ran into some issues. To narrow it down, I created simple Expo App and installed nitro image there. While ios is working fine, on Android I'm hitting error Requested Image is not a Bitmap! when trying to load remote animated gif. I got the same issue with animated webp.

To reproduce I just did in my component:

 const gifImage = useImage({
    url: "https://www.easygifanimator.net/images/samples/imageeffects.gif",
  });
. . .
{gifImage.image && (
        <NitroImage
          image={gifImage.image}
          style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }}
        />
      )}

Is this something on my side? I understand that Coil should support animated image: https://coil-kt.github.io/coil/gifs/ if AnimatedImageDecoder is loaded. The error I'm getting is throw from here: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-nitro-image/blob/main/packages/react-native-nitro-web-image/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/web/image/ImageLoader%2BloadImageAsync.kt#L34
Is react-native-nitro-web-image preventing animated images?
