We are developing a react-native application. When we have updated the release app from the play store, some of the icons are misplaced at the other sections of the app in ANDROID. This is really strange for us. When I deleted the app and re install the application it will be fine. But when update the app the icons are placed somewhere in the app in Android.
Also in iOS there is no such issues.
In the earlier versions everything was fine in android and it showing weird results on some of the icons.
example :- If I place icon named "cart" it's supposed to show a cart icon, but instead I'm getting chat icon. But these icons are we are showing from the assets folder.
Issue is like this link :- (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/29645)
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, can you tell me where to look for a fix?
Thanks in advance.

HI react native developers
I having some production release / update issues
Some days back I had published a react native app to play store which has some images like banner images and some profile images and icons in bottom tab bar as well are images. Images are stored inside the asset folder of the app.
Now I did one more release to playstore. in playstore the previous user able to see the update button. and once they update the app the images of the app randomly shuffled here and there and some are also missing in their places. Once the user uninstall and install the app every thing looks good.
I am not sure what causing the issue
Tried giving reference path of all the images being used inside all the component of the app in one js file but that not resolve the issue
So I recently uploaded my Android application to the Google Play store and it published successfully. This is the application here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyoudai.sudioku
The problem is, when anyone installs thiis application, they cannot open it i.e. the open option does not appear on the playstore, only the uninstall option. This application also cannot be found in the application drawer on any device, or in the list of installed applications. I've tried editing my manifest and included everything necessary but I have no idea why this happens. I generally believe if there was an issue with my code that should not be possible for an android application, the play store would flag it. When I was developing this, it showed up on the emulator application drawer so I assumed it was fine. I'm not sure why this happens, and I'm not even sure where to contact google regarding this. Any help is appreciated.
Given people are gonna jump on the manifest configuration, here it is: https://github.com/BerserkerLan/Sudoku-Android/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
make sure that your build is signed APK/Bundle
So basically, the issue was that I just had too many category elements in my intent-filter and thus somehow that was interfering with the MAIN, VIEW and LAUNCHER elements, so now I only have those three in it and it launches fine.
We published our PWA on Google Play using Trusted Web Activities. App was successfully signed and released.
In order to successfully sign and publish the app, We strictly followed the step by step official tutorial at the following address:
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/using-twa
We used Android Studio.
The app on google play is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coelotec.meteodrome
The Android App locally installed on device, calls the following url that points to the web app (PWA):
https://app.meteodrome.it
The Web App, is a PWA developed with Angular 6.0.
Pre-rendering is not activated. Server return the classic bundle of javascripts, html and css.
However some of the users are reporting some issues, such as having two icons on their screen. One is named "MeteoDrome" and the other one "Meteo Drome" with the space.
One of the icons contains the correct logo of the app. The other one has the default android logo. Clicking on the first one, app correctly loads. Clicking the default android logo named "Meteo Drome", browser loads showing the app.
In the first case you correctly see the full screen app, in the second case you see the app wrapped in chrome. When you see chrome the address bar is visible.
Other users reports that they are not able to correctly load app. They usually see white screen instead of the right interface. Especially when the android version is old.
But for many other users app works fine and have no problems.
Many users in facts, neither see two icons on theirs screen nor loads a white screen view.
The app have got many likes and is much appreciated among the users. However it has also an unusual number of uninstalls.
Probably when the app works fine users doesn't uninstall.
We have no idea of what to do.
1) How can We understand what happen when the app is uninstalled and why is it uninstalled?
2) Besides, the users can:
a - find two icons on the screen.
b - find the correct icon on the screen and the android logo in the app list.
c - find only the right icon on the screen without seeing any other icons.
Why does this happen?
3) Why sometime some users report me that they see white screen even if their android version is good to install the app? And in other cases the app works fine?
We really have no idea of what to do and we have some serious problems with the abnormal percentage of uninstall.
Please, help us.
Thanks.
Is possible that some users may have installed the application from the Play Store and also installed using the Add to Home Screen?
The Application available on the Play Store is being server with the default Android logo. The Image Asset Studio inside Android Studio can help with creating new one.
Users with versions of Chrome < 72 or that have other browser as their default browsers will be shown the application in a Custom Tab as a fallback. This can be customised inside your application by implementing your own fallback method.
Finally, a good way to get started with your use case is to checkout the sample application on Github. It is designed to be an easy option to get started with TWAs, and can be used as a starting point for your own app.
I have the following problem using android studio:
I have finished my app and everything is ok when I test it on my android smartphone with the emulator connected by USB.
Then I have sent the apk to a friend for testing and he found out that there was no application icon on the screen.
What can be the reason?
Is the icon only visible in the apk in google play store?
How can I be sure that it is visible when publishing it in the play store?
Or is the reason that I have not defined a round icon but only a rectangular?
Is it necessary to define a round icon (which does not look well for my icon)?
If I do not define a round Icon have I to define the rounded_icon like the rectangular or can I leave the basic android icon or have I to delete the rounded icon property?
I know a lot of questions but arising only from one.
Thank you for help.

If you want to send to other people your app then you need to Build apk and then sent to anybody
Go to Build/Build apk
and then build that app and sent to anybody
they can install app like any other app.
Their is no problem on defining only round icon
TO generate only square icon click on
new/image asset/
and then go to legacy to generate only square icon
I recently updated my app to a newer version in Android Studio. However, my App Icon was replaced by the android icon (green head with antenna) after the update. I haven't made any changes to the screenshots in my developer account for my icons. Why has my original icon disappeared?
Remove the app from the homescreen then re-add it. Sometimes, if the app is removed and/or tied to a launcher without the app installed it will show that. See if the app is still in the app drawer and re-add it to the homescreen.
