In the session Get ready to optimize your App Store product page show:
And remember, to test a variation of your app icon, you'll need to include the icon assets in the binary of your app version that is currently live.
How should I create different app icons in Xcode 13, or is there any related documentation link? thanks~
How do you properly add multiple App Icons inside Xcode for Product Page Optimization Tests?| Apple Developer Forums
How to test a variation of your app… | Apple Developer Forums
You are right that Apple doesn't give too many details about it. You need to set up an alternate app icon in your binary. Here's a step by step tutorial on how to do it:
Create your app icon creatives (1024px x 1024px)
Set your app icon(s) in XCode as another App Icon in the Asset Catalog, fill in all the relevant sizes
Since Xcode 13, Asset Catalog supports Alternate App Icons and there’s a corresponding build setting we need to change to the target’s Build Settings:
Change the Include All App Icon Asset to Yes
Add the App Icon Set you added in #2 to the Alternate App Icon Sets setting, you can add more than one.
Change the Primary App Icon Set Name to the default app icon if needed
You need to upload your new build to review.
Only after your new build has been approved and your app is in Ready For Sale state, you may find your alternate app icons in the Product Page Optimization under the App Icon tab

I am developing a flutter web application. When I share the link, the link looks like this:
First screenshot - when I tap on share
https://i.stack.imgur.com/tHHzi.jpg
Notice that I changed Flutter default icon into my own icon in the /web/icons folder, which is ok.
Problem 1: The name is showing as the project (package) name (webcatalogo_shop). For Android and Ios I know ways to change the display name, but how to do this for Flutter web?
Second screenshot - after sharing (in this example, sharing via WhatsApp)

Same problem 1 above happens here, and I also found 2 other problems:
Problem 2: The Icon is showing as Flutter icon, even though I have replaced these in the /web/icons folder with my App's icon. I can't find Flutter images anywhere else under web folder.
Problem 3: It's also showing the project description "A new Flutter application." Where can I change this?
Can anyone give me some light on how to solve these? Thanks!
In your flutter project folder, you will have a web folder. In the Web folder open manifest.json. You can edit the name, description and icons properties.
I use Image Asset in Android Studio to generate the Google Play store icon, you can see Image A.
It's 512 x 512, 32-bit PNG.
But Google Play reject it, the following information is displayed
We found an issue in the following area(s): Hi-res icon
Are there some bugs with Image Asset to generate the Google Play store icon?
Image A
Reject Details
Your app is rejected due to the policy here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888374
Most likely this is the policy that it breaks:
App titles and icons that are so similar to those of existing products or services that users may be misled
Google is probably worried that the icon is just an microphone icon, which is used in other places in the Android system, and may therefore mislead users that the app is related to Android or Google.
Therefore, I suggest modifying your icon to differentiate it and make it unique, and then they should accept it.
I'm using node-notifier (link) in node.js to show a toast notification in Windows 8. I have it working and I'm able to adjust the title, text, and main image in the notification just fine. However, in a Windows 8 toast notifications, there is a secondary (smaller) image. See below:
So, node-notifier uses toaster, which in turn uses ToastNotificationManager. But, I cannot find any reference anywhere to this secondary image. I've looked here and here on Microsoft's site.
This secondary image also shows in other notifications I receive from applications like Outlook, Slack, etc.
Where is this secondary image coming from? Is the documentation just out of date? Can Toaster be modified to access this secondary image?
The secondary image is the icon for the shortcut in the Start Menu folder for the program registered to raise a toast. To change it, you'll need to modify the icon on the shortcut.
For a desktop application to use the ToastNotificationManager class, it is required to have a shortcut in the start menu, and an AppUserModelId associated with that shortcut. At ToastNotificationManager creation time, the caller passes in the same AppUserModelId, which ties back to the associated icon for the shortcut. More about registering desktop applications to raise toasts this can be found on this MSDN documentation page.
Looking at the toaster code here, it is installing the shortcut to a file called toast.lnk in the Start Menu:
String shortcutPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) +
"\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\toast.lnk";
And, it is creating the shortcut targeting the initial calling process:
String exePath = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName;
Updating the icon in the shortcut manually should verify that you can change what is shown locally, but an update to toaster to set the icon location is likely required (to support multiple callers with different shortcuts, or by having it call IShellLink::SetIconLocation).
I wrote a simple Google Apps script and published it in the Chrome Web Store as an app (I guess "hosted" app. You can find the link here: http://bit.ly/1JTiKLC). I followed the instructions mentioned here:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/distribute-web-app
I specified all the required items in the checklist, AFAIK, including icons of the required size. The item is listed and I can download it. However, when it is added in the Chrome desktop launcher, it has the default "apps script" blue icon:
I want to change this but can't find any way to do so. The link above specifies that there is a way to do this for a new tab page (sec. Updating a web app's icon on the New Tab Page). First of all, I cannot see any link that says "specify an alternative image" anywhere as they say. Could someone elaborate on this. Secondly, is there a similar way to change the launcher icon for apps script webapps?
Ok, I found it. Here's the info for someone else who may have the same question: The link appears in the window just after you click "Publish>Register in Chrome Web Store..." in the apps script editor itself. It's not there in the developer dashboard. You can host the image publicly on any site which provides direct links, like imgur.
This will change the icon in the Chrome new page tab (or in "chrome://apps/") as well as the desktop launcher. Cheers :)
I am facing an App Icon related issue. I am creating SharePoint Hosted App which I am deploying to SP 2013 Developer site.
By default any app will have the AppIcon set under Images folder. Also it is referred in AppManifest.xml.
I am able to deploy my app successfully and it works fine, but I don’t see the icon/image for the App. All I see is a link of the name of the app.
I have tried another image/Another App, but every time I see the link only.
Any one have any idea on that??
Also curious to know how we can set the sliding transparent hover text over App icon??
