To my knowledge, this has always been an issue.

Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:
I have an image entity that produces an SVG image. When selecting that entity for the Picture widget, it just displays a blank widget.

Additional information:
The relevant image entity in the logs is image.thoth. I've included the full log file, but I'm guessing the relevant errors are:

interesting the app was able to download the image and load it into the view

i am not sure if widgets naturally support SVG images

That first link answers the question: Android does not natively support svg images. Unless we want to implement our own image decoders everywhere I'd say this is out of scope for the app - this issue will also apply to notifications.
