Closes #4819
What has been done to verify that this works as intended?
I added automated tests and verified the fix manually.
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
The issue occurred after upgrading
androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface
I don't think that point release brought anything that we would need to apply on our side so I guess there must be a bug in that newest release. I downgraded that dependency and we can check it again after next release and then if it still doesn't work we can spend more time on it.Generally the problem is that we set exif attributes no matter what image format is used. Gifs are not supported but it should not cause spoiling those files as well. At least it didn't in the previous release of that dependency. I also didn't want to make to many changes to avoid conflicts with #4664 so yeah it's better to check it again later and for now just fix the problem in the easiest possible way.
How does this change affect users? Describe intentional changes to behavior and behavior that could have accidentally been affected by code changes. In other words, what are the regression risks?
It's a safe fix since I just downgraded one dependency to a version that we used before so we just need to focus on the described scenario.
