Hi,

You do not need to add anything like the iOS lines to the build.settings. All I get my students to use is something like:

– Supported values for orientation:
– portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight

settings =
 {
        orientation = {
         default = “portrait”,
         supported = { “portrait”, }
    },
   
}

Providing that the icons are in the same directory/folder as your main.lua Corona will do everything for you. Hope my vague rambling help.

Just drop the appropriately named  and sized icons in the folder with your main.lua.

Corona SDK will do the rest.

How can i put the icon image into a folder and declare it in build.settings? In iOS Corona said “These files should be included in the project’s base directory” but in the build.setting can I write “img/Icon.png” instead of “Icon.png” for call the icon from a folder because there are many app icon file for iOS (14 files).

No, the files need to be in the base directory.  There are a lot of images, but that is where they go.

You can find documentation on how to add Android app icons here…

Also have a look at the sample projects included with the Corona Simulator for examples on how to add app icons.

There are no “build.settings” for Android app icons.  The ones you are seeing is taking advantage of an iOS specific “plist” feature which allows you to specify app icon file names that are different than the default file names iOS normally expects.  The important thing to note is that anything under the “iphone” section of your “build.settings” file are unique to iOS and typically do not have a cross-platform equivalent.  In fact, the documentation I linked to above highlights many of the common “build.settings” features that you should be aware of when building an app.

I hope this helps!
