Flutter gif image glitch - flutter

Question

I do not know how to correctly explain, but I'll try. On my auth page, at the top of it, I have a GIF logo (without repeat). So auth page works like this:
logo animation running (for around 3 seconds)
after 3 seconds all other content appears (thanks to delayed_display)
And all works fine. But if I logged in to the app, and press log out, I'm redirected back to the same login page (as expected), but GIF not playing again, and simply freezing on the first frame. I can assume it's probably because my GIF set up to not repeat and it cached in flutter??? But if it's cached, why do I see it at the beginning of the animation, but not the final frame???
Also not about how authentication works. I'm using GetX for state management. So basically all is moving around authUser observable from AuthenticationController, and I have a Wrapper page which checks if authUser is not null to show DashboardScreen, otherwise AuthScreen.
Here is the AuthScreen with the gif image itself:
class AuthScreen extends StatelessWidget {
AuthScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
final AuthenticationController _authController =
Get.find<AuthenticationController>();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: SingleChildScrollView(
child: SafeArea(
child: Column(
children: [
Image.asset('assets/images/n2mu_animated_logo.gif'), <=== here is the GIF
DelayedDisplay(
delay: const Duration(seconds: 4),
child: Container(
margin: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 40, right: 20, left: 20),
child: Center(
child: Column(children: [
RichText(
text: const TextSpan(children: [
TextSpan(
text: 'Hey, let verify:',
style:
TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 22),
),
])),
Obx(() => AnimatedSwitcher(
duration: const Duration(microseconds: 300),
child: (_authController.verificationCodeSent.value ==
false)
? PhoneNumberWidget() <== widget to shop phone number input
: SmsVerificationWidget(), <== SMS verification widget
)),
])),
)),
],
),
)));
}
}

Found the solution, you should use evict() method of the AssetImage widget. Here is more info https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51775#issuecomment-680997795
