Animated WebP support.

Hi,
as stated in README.md of this library, this is just wrapper around SDWebImage for iOS, which claims to support animated WebP, and Glide for Android, which seems to be problematic. You can give it a try and let others know.

Just after some more tests, showing webp on android seems not supported but works fine on iOS.

Yeah I think the current answer is probably a no. If you want to make a case for adding support a new issue can be opened.

Animated gifs are supported, maybe you can use those.

I'm going to turn this issue into a feature request. Seems like it might be possible at some point.

@peteroid Hi there, could you please give more information about your tests? I can't display any webp image in my project.

I ejected my project to pure RN, generated Podfile with pod 'SDWebImage/WebP' and built it with Xcode. My test is very simple:

import React from 'react';
import FastImage from 'react-native-fast-image';

const source = {
  uri: 'https://user-gold-cdn.xitu.io/2017/12/28/1609d17b5af17a56?w=534&h=300&f=webp&s=39334',
};

export default () => (
  <FastImage source={source} />
);

It shows nothing.
I also use FastImage in the same project for remote JPGs and local GIFs and it works well with them. So I am wondering did I miss something?

BTW, I tried the native code with SDWebImage it works fine:

Podfile

project './test-webp.xcodeproj/'

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'test-webp' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for test-webp
  pod 'SDWebImage'
  pod 'SDWebImage/WebP'

end

ViewController.swift

import UIKit
import SDWebImage

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var imgView: UIImageView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        imgView.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: "https://user-gold-cdn.xitu.io/2017/12/28/1609d17b5af17a56?w=534&h=300&f=webp&s=39334"));
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
}

Animated WebP works well in iOS currently. It does not work well on Android. We rely on Glide for support though so it doesn't seem possible to fix on our end.
