To display HEIF images from current IOS devices, a current libheif is required. Problem is fixed with the upcoming digiKam-8.5.0:

@Gilles, I don't have Windows available here at the moment, are we already on the current libheif version under Windows?

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2024-10-08 20:31:22 UTC 
yes, vcpkg provide the libheif 1.18.2

Comment 4 Maik Qualmann 2024-10-09 11:30:46 UTC 
@Gilles, the current libheif version in the vcpkg Windows Qt6 bundle is still 1.17.6.
The vcpkg probably needs to be recompiled.
