Coil AsyncImage Software rendering not supported for Pictures that require hardware acceleration

Question

I'm running into a crash while using Coil AsyncImage with hardware acceleration. I've seen that I can use allowHardware(false) to resolve the crash, but not entirely sure of where to implment this.

I've also tried setting Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true to true and false and no difference.

This is the code that calls the image.

        AsyncImage(
            modifier = Modifier
                .height(300.dp),
            contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
            model = Constants().supaBasePhotoURL + imageName + ".jpg",
            placeholder = painterResource(id = R.drawable.smokehill),
            contentDescription = "image of hots post",
            onSuccess = {
                coreDataViewModel.postImageToShare = it.painter
            }
        )

This is where the crash is coming from

private fun createBitmapFromPicture(picture: Picture): Bitmap {
    val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
        picture.width,
        picture.height,
        Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888,
        true
    )

    val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
    canvas.drawColor(android.graphics.Color.WHITE)
    canvas.drawPicture(picture)
    return bitmap
}

I'm facing the same problem, but I'm not sure if it comes from Coil though.

I found this library that takes screenshots in Compose and it doesn't crash: https://github.com/SmartToolFactory/Compose-Screenshot

It works fine with this library but I can't figure out either why we would get this crash in the first place.
