What packages need to be installed? I have tried things like libheif-tools with no success.

ah yeah, they are from ios 18. Guess Iā€™m waiting for an updated libheif.

I was able to fix the problem with the following:
###SOLUTION##############

dnf install ImageMagick-heic

dnf install libavcodec-freeworld

dnf install libheif-freeworld

dnf install libde265

dnf install ffmpegdec

dnf install libheif

dnf install ffmpeg-libs

dnf install --allowerasing ffmpeg-libs

Example:

magick IMG_1206.heic IMG_1206.jpg

Use the following script called ā€˜convā€™ to clean up.

cat conv

for F in ls *.heic
do
NF=echo "${F}" |cut -d"." -f1
magick ${F} ${NF}.jpg
echo ā€œ${NF}.jpgā€
done

rm *.heic

#####FIXED#
Success using magick to convert *.heic pictures to jpg

Example: magick IMG_1200.heic IMG_1200.jpg

#Note: magick convert IMG_1200.heic IMG_1200.jpg
#DOES NOT WORK!!! magick WITHOUT ā€˜convertā€™ argument works fine.
#PS
kde Connect now converts .heic pictures from IPhone IOS to .jpg pictures during the copy to the Downloads directory on the Fedora host.
