Yes, you can change your app’s icon.  Here’s the documentation: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#appicons.  Basically, you just have to create the icon files in your project’s root directory and, for iOS, include the names in your build.settings file.

Unless it’s a recent change, I’ve never added my icon names to the build.settings file for iOS and it’s always worked fine.

Apple looks for certain Icon files without specifying them.  This is a legacy IOS 3 thing.  I think it will find Icon.png by itself.  However if you want to include the retina iPhone and the iPad sized icons, or if you want to include the various spotlight Icons, or use different names for them, you have to include them in your build.settings.

This is the full set that Apple will use:

            CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png",             CFBundleIconFiles = {                 "Icon.png" ,                 "Icon@2x.png" ,                 "Icon-72.png" ,                 "Icon-Small-50.png",                 "Icon-Small-50@2x.png",                 "Icon-Small.png" ,                 "Icon-Small@2x.png"             },

How about 

            “Icon-72@2x.png”,

I thought that was to be in the list as well.

And it should be.

What for are those “small” icons used ?

“Spotlight searches”.  It’s some where in the app store on the device I think.

Android uses these files:

Icon-mdpi.png (48x48)

Icon-xhdpi.png (96x96)

Just drop them into the folder with main.lua.  You don’t need to put anything in build.settings for Android.
