I’ve had an app rejected by Amazon due to the Corona icon appearing on their test device. I didn’t put any icons in the .apk build, so don’t know where its coming from or how to get rid of it. I put the app’s 114 and 512 icons up via their distribution page. Any advice? [import]uid: 94653 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 328259[/import]
Write them a email and ask. [import]uid: 86417 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 114173[/import]
corona icon may have appeared in the game credits :)))) [import]uid: 113278 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 114176[/import]
Hey guys - the issue is *not* the icon appearing in credits etc, that’s all fine - the issue, I believe, is the Corona icon showing up rather than the app icon itself.
I have heard of a blank icon when testing on device but not on store builds - I’m going to pass this on to Josh (our Android guru) and try to get you an answer ASAP.
Please hang tight!

Hi Peach, that would be great. Its as you suggest I think. Amazon sent me a screenshot if it’s of any use. The Corona icon is sitting on their device.

I believe that Corona SDK actually adds the necessary icons to the .apk file if you don’t provide them. On iOS, there are lots of warnings and errors if you don’t provide the icons, but when I don’t provide the android required icons, I magically get Corona icons on my Kindle Fire.
You need to provide the following icons:
Icon-ldpi.png (36x36)
Icon-mdpi.png (48x48)
Icon-hdpi.png (64x64) and
Icon-xhdpi.png (96x96)
I wouldn’t hurt to drop an
Icon.png (57x57) in there for good measure, but I don’t believe Android uses it.

I’m hoping you will get an official answer shortly (today/yesterday having been a holiday for July 4th) however I missed the fact you said you didn’t supply *any* icons in the apk build - what icon appeared when you tested on your own device? I’d think by doing as Rob suggested this issue would be solved. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 114263[/import]
Rob is spot on. You need to provide all of the icons files he mentioned to your Corona project directory, except for “Icon-xhdpi.png” which Corona does not support yet. And the files are case sensitive, so make sure you use a capital “I”. Have a look at all of the sample projects included with the Corona SDK and notice that every project includes 3 icons files. You’ll want to do the same in your project and use the exact same pixel dimensions as these files. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 114365[/import]
Thanks guys - you’re da best! [import]uid: 94653 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 114412[/import]
@Josh & Peach
Do you know when Corona is going to support Icon-xhdpi.png? And if we should go ahead and “future-proof” our code by adding that icon size?
Just want to make sure we are not caught off-guard.
thx!

I’m including it in my packages. It’s a small file and doesn’t hurt anything to include it.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt to add the “Icon-xhdpi.png” file. It will save you time later. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 28259 reply_id: 116773[/import]
