Changed icon of app won't change on update, only on re-install.

Hell all.

We’ve changed the icon design on our app, but it would seem that if U simply update the app with the new version with the new icons, the old icon remain (on device and in XCode), and we see the new icon only if we uninstall then re-install the app.

I would imagine this is due to the device having some cach of images and icons, but is there a way to force the device to update the icon too? something in the build.settings file?

Thanks.

It might be the iOS thing, I’ve noticed this behaviour when working with native iOS apps. If that is the case, build.settings can’t help. But I wonder if restarting the device (and the Xcode?) will force the icon to change?

Good idea, I might test it, when I get back from holidays :slight_smile:

Same had happened to me, But I used to kept managing my application and you can also delete the cache. That can also work for you.
