Image is animating to actual size on Android and stuck at small size on iOS

Bug Description

Hi, I have been using this library in my app for a while, and I just noticed a weird issue with how image is scaling to actual size on Android & iOS

On Android the image starts out small and then is animating to full size, is there a way to skip that scale animation and force it to go to full size immediately.

On iOS the same image is stuck on small size weirdly and not scaling up at all.

Steps to Reproduce

I am using MarkdownElement so that I can add other elements I need in the LazyColumn.

Every time the component is revisited after scrolling, the animation starts again on Android.

Is the same observed it compose-multiplatform 1.8.0?

On iOS yes, the images were always small and doesn't grow at all. I don't remember if the image was still animating on that Compose version on Android unfortunately 😅
