I tried to upload the icon (also a screen) I made with GIMP, but it won't work. Without any message. Does anyone of you guys know, what's wrong with the images or how i can create a proper one?
For all, who also can't upload an app icon for the store. First you need to upload an apk, then it will work. It is kind of confusing because the tab 'Store-Entry' pops up first.

I've changed my application's icon and Feature Graphic,Promo Graphic on google play a week ago but
when I copy the link of my appliaction and share it on facebook, the preview on facebook show the older of my application's icon.So, how can I make it to show the lastest Icon when sharing it?
I know my question is similar to bellow questions:
How to change preview of Play Store app when sharing on Facebook?.

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 have a problem in the Google Play Developer Console.
After i had uploaded a new update of one of my apps, the thumbnail icon of this app in the "All Applications" page changed to this. I had set a different icon both on android manifest and "Store listing" page.
I have the same thumbnail for my app as well, for which I published an update one hour ago. This was a staged release, so it might be a new symbol indicating such a staged release.
I have the same thumbnail icon in my console, and I used both 'old' APK page and the 'new' Manage Release page. Even after my updates have been published to Play and become visible to the users, the grey box does not go away.
But since the apk update has gone well, this is not a problem and would be fixed soon. It does not seem to communicate any 'stage' of the rollout, though
UPD I watched an explanatory video about the new Manage Releases page but it does not explain the 'grey box' mystery
Seems to be a new issue which appeared in the last hours... I did not make a staged release and I have got this strange icon anyway. It will probably not disturb my app on the store (I hope... :) ).
The icon appeared in my console after I uploaded a new APKs with launch icons for high density screens
Yesterday I have updated my app and Yes the mysterious Gray box has not even left me.
Here is Google group discussing the same: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-discuss/mJAn1oGRZpQ
According to Peter
It turns out my hdpi icon was 57x57 instead of being the correct size.
Fixing the size and adding a mdpi version for good measure seems to
have fixed the issue. Strange how only the website is bothered by it
but I guess it was my own fault for not bothering to perform what
seemed like an unnecessary resize when I started the app.
I'll try to do the same for my next update, may be in time Google solve the issue, I'm also going to report this to Google.
Update: Seems like issue resolved, I got back my app icon back without applying any changes(29/3/2017)
As title states. I clicked on "Publish" in the google play developer console. And it said my app now got uploaded. But I dont know which apk file was uploaded. How can I find out?
EDIT: I am 100% signed in correctly. Here is an image of the tabs on the left.
In the tab with the android robot picture, it says I have no applications. But in the tab with the google controller thing, I can click on my app, look at the game details, leaderboards, achievements etc and I can click publish but I dont know what it's publishing...
Go to your Developer Console (All Applications) and then click on the app. On the left, there is a list of things to choose (Statistics, etc.) so click on APK.
That will tell you everything about the version and version code of the APK. You can click on the latest version to get some details on it, and at the top of the page it even tells you the package name.
You can by checking the version of the app. Click on all apps -> apk, then you see a list of apk's you uploaded and the current version number.
Are you sure that your app is on play store and not only in play game?
If you upload it with your account should be appared in the tab with android's icon
I'm android application developer and I want to know how to change my android icon after downloading from Google Play.
I mean, the icon of my application which you can see on Google Play and the icon of my application which you can see on home screen of your android smartphone are different.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.
The 512x512 icon you upload to the developer console (when you publish the app) is the one that will be seen in Google Play. The 36x36, 48x48, 72x72, and 96x96 icons you put in your drawable resource folders are what will show up on the device homescreen/app drawer.
There's no way to change your app's Google Play image after you published it. So make sure to make it right in the first time.
