You need to add an icon to your APK

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I've just uploaded my first Android app to Google Play and it's telling me 'You need to add an icon to your APK' - which is odd given a 128x128 size icon called 'appicon.png' is sitting in the 'android' folder inside my Resources folder and shows both on the emulator and on a test device. Is there anywhere else I'm supposed to place the app's icon?

  • Just tried the old Google Play console (I was using their new design) and have been given more info in the error - it's now 'Please use a 48x48 PNG' !!

  • OK - don't all rush to answer this one ;) apparently it's nothing to do with the icon, my app name had a forced line break to make it appear on two lines. Google doesn't like that but threw a meaningless error message at me. Thanks Google.

Yes, Google Play Developer Console displays very useless message. The right reason for such message really is a line break in application name.
