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.

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.
When installing on Android, it does not add a shortcut on home screen. You can find it in the app drawer only now. How to add icon of the app on the home android screen?
I think this is a property of phone and has nothing to do with your specific app. What happens when you install other new apps from the PlayStore?
There is a setting in PlayStore where you can choose to automatically add newly installed app to the Home screen. Try changing that.
My app had different launcher icon from free and paid version. from inside my free app, user can upgrade to paid version. So, in my case, once the user upgrades to paid, I want to change the launcher icon and the icon in application manager (in settings) from code.
I am able to change the launcher icon but the icon is application manager (in settings) is not getting updated.
I tried to find all over internet but with no help.
Can someone help me with this. Thanks
I noticed that default behavior for most applications installed from Play Store is to automatically add an icon to the launcher in use (at least in Google Launcher).
I can't test on iOS but I guess that's the default behavior for any app, since there is no app drawer.
However when I deploy my Cordova app to device this doesn't happen. Is there a way to "tell" Android system to do it?
I simply have no clue if and how it's feasible.
There is an option on Google Play app Settings, called "Add icon to Home screen" for new apps, it comes checked by default, so any app you install from google play will add the icon to Home screen, but apps installed while developing or downloaded from another sources won't
I have uninstalled my app (debug version) with the options on my phone. But if I reinstall it with another version (signed) I get an error message that it already exists. But I do not see a symbol in the phone. I have to use adb uninstall. This happens on different devices.
Is this normal behavior or is there something wrong with my app?
If the signatures do not match, the old app must be uninstalled before another app with the same package name can be installed. The old application can be uninstalled from command line (adb uninstall) or just using the normal Android UI (go the all applications view, long tap the application icon there and drag it into trashbox that should appear at the top).
It is really very strange and wrong if you do not have your application icon at all. Even if you do not supply one, the default icon (a green Android) should be used together with your application name. But maybe you are talking about the main desktop where the icon may not be installed by default. You need to go to application list instead. For 4.1.0, the application list is opened with the button having six white dots in two rows, all surrounded by the circle, at the bottom centre.
If you try to install a signed app with the same package name as the unsigned version, it will return an error saying that it cannot be done. What you have to do is to check that the app really is uninstalled on your device before installing the new, signed version.
problem is that i was using 2 packages
