Initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type, not 'AnyView' – Swift

The Problem:

In Xcode 14.3, we encountered an error while working with SwiftUI and Kingfisher. The error states ‘Initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type, not ‘AnyView” in the KFImageRenderer.swift file. Specifically, it occurs in a conditional binding statement where the expected type should be Optional, but the code currently uses ‘AnyView’ instead.
