[Feature Request] Support JPEG-XL and AVIF

[mshibanami]

General Information

• MEGA Version: 16.0.1
• iOS Version(s): iOS 18.0.1
• Devices/Simulators: iPhone 15
• Reproducible? (Yes/No): Yes

What happened?

Currently, the iOS app doesn't recognize JPEG-XL (.jxl) and AVIF (.avif) files as images. Is there a chance to add support for them? I believe that at least JPEG-XL makes sense to support since it's now supported by the iPhone 16 Pro.

FWIW, this is my personal implementation: https://github.com/mshibanami/meganz-iOS/commit/0836fdc38f76413f13f826877bc58bdc399c3197

I confirmed that it works fine for me. (= UIImageView already supports both formats.)

(I won't create a pull request since the team always seems to prefer making changes internally, and I accidentally included an unnecessary change.)

What did you expect to happen?

Image files with .jxl or .avif extensions should be recognized as images, and I should be able to preview them with horizontal swipes.

Misc.

IIRC, my changes are not enough as they don't organize the items in the Recents section properly. Also, these formats aren't recognized on the Web either. Therefore, I think changes will be needed for https://github.com/meganz/sdk as well.

Thank you for maintaining this great service!
