Title:
RetroAchievements icons are not displayed on iOS (Achievement badges missing)

Description:

Environment:

• Device: iPhone 16
• iOS: (latest version)
• PPSSPP: 1.20.4 (App Store)

Problem:
RetroAchievements works correctly, and the achievement list loads with titles, descriptions, and points. However, the achievement icons (badges) never appear. Only the text is displayed.

What I tried:

• Updated PPSSPP to the latest App Store version.
• Updated iOS to the latest version.
• Signed out and back into RetroAchievements.
• Reinstalled PPSSPP.
• Confirmed the same RetroAchievements account displays icons correctly on an Android device.
• Internet connection is working.

Additional information:
The cache does not appear to download any achievement badge images on iOS. The achievement list only shows text with no icon placeholders.

Is this a known issue on the iOS version of PPSSPP?

Checklist

• Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
• Search for other reports of the same issue.
• Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
• Try without any cheats and without loading any save states.
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

The report identifies PPSSPP 1.20.4 on iOS with Vulkan and the RetroAchievements badge-download path, but names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the missing icons on an iPhone 16 and compare the iOS behavior with Android; done means achievement badges load and display on iOS.
