How to resolve "Exception: Source must not use a color palette"

I'm writting simple app which in view onUpdate uses:

dc.drawBitmap2(dc.getWidth()/2, dc.getHeight()/2, svgImage, { });

Image is svg:
<svg height="100" width="100" xmlns="">http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >

  <rect width="100" height="100" fill="yellow" stroke="red" stroke-width="2" />
</svg>

loaded as:

var svgImage as BitmapResource = WatchUi.loadResource(Rez.Drawables.svgImage);

Using bitmap resource:

<bitmap id="svgImage" filename="images/image.svg" />

When simulator is started with fenix 7 it works well, if I choose Venu 3 and start simulator it crashes with error:
Error: Unhandled Exception Exception: Source must not use a color palette

What's the meaning of this error and how to resolve it?

I had the same problem with a png file and solved it by adding
packingFormat="png"
to the bitmap resource, like: <bitmap id="test" filename="test.png" packingFormat="png">

Maybe this helps in your case as well.

I saw this answer before but did not try it as packingType are default, png, jpg, yuv and none of them referred svg. However, I now tried png tytpe anyway and it worked!?

So if anyone else has the same issue importing SVG resource be sure to use packingFormat="png", although illogical - it works.

Thanks TitanicTurtle
