Description
- Your Rocket.Chat Experimental app version: 4.1.0.268
- Your Rocket.Chat server version: 2.3.1
- Device (or Simulator) you're running with: iOS 13.3
I have an incoming webhook set up with a remote custom SVG image. This isn't rendered in the channel. If I set it to a PNG file, it works.
Screenshot 1 shows Rocket.Chat in the browser, Screenshot 2 the missing images in the app.

No file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in the iOS app with the incoming webhook using the supplied SVG and PNG URLs, then compare the app's image-rendering path for each format; done means the remote SVG renders in the channel as it does in the browser.
