Deprecation of the UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions in Xcode15

[iPHYZLL]

Issue is for reporting a problem of Kingfisher. To ask a question or discuss about usage, please go to the Discussion (https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher/discussions).

• Was thinking whether or not I should open a discussion instead, but I think this is more of an issue (potential) itself.

• I have read the wiki page and cheat sheet, but there is no information I need.

Issue Description

Building with Xcode 15 for iOS 17 might lead to the run-time crash when using a deprecated UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions code on the UIImage instances with .zero size.

"Duplicate thread":
#2176

Solution
DylanVann/react-native-fast-image#1010

What

I can see that GraphicsContext.begin(size: CGSize, scale: CGFloat) still uses a deprecated UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions call on 2 places (ImageDrawing).

This is still the case as of today (22.1.2024), on the latest version of the library (master).

Other Comment

We did not experience any issues (as we don't use blurred images on our projects), but we are just wondering if there are any updates planned for the upcoming releases of the lib, where the deprecated code will be replaced?
