I was developing an UWP app. I changed the app icon. All app icons (taskbar, start menu, desktop shortcut) are changed. But Start Menu search icon is not changed. It is showing previous icon which is currently not present in the project.
I am using "Visual Studio 2019 Professional" for development & generated app icons from Visual Assets as described here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/style/app-icons-and-logos). Except the generated icons there is no other icons in "/Assets/Images/TileLogo" folder.
After searching in google I found that File Explorer cached old icon & it's showing old icon from cache. But there is no proper solution to clean the cache or prevent this caching.
How can I prevent the caching or clean the cached icon and show new icon in Start Menu search?

I changed the default app icon and it appears fine in the app drawer, but on Android 8.0's recent apps the icon is still the default one.
Also when I try to uninstall the app, the Alert windows that opens contains the dafault react-native icon.
I tried looking on other posts and found this comment, but I already set those and even created a mipmap-ldpi (36x36) icon, but it still remains the same.
How can I change these icons?
I'm using React-native 0.59.1
For Android 8.0 and Above Adaptive Launcher Icon are used and for Versions below Android 8.0 we use Legacy Launcher Icon
You can try try to update icons using Image Asset Studio -
To start Image Asset Studio, select Android in the Project Window. Right click on the res folder and select New > Image Asset. You have now opened Image Asset Studio. You can now create an Adaptive Launcher Icon or Legacy Only Launcher Icon as per your requirement by selecting Icon Type.
You can refer to this link for more information.
Hope it works !
I set the icon as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/12491626/67824 but it still shows as a generic app icon (grey screen with green "exec" text) in the dock and in the ⌘+tab application switcher (both when I run it from MonoDevelop and when I run it using mono foo.exe). I know it can be done, because when I run a mono-compliant version of LINQPad I'm seeing the LINQPad application icon.
I also use the SetIconFromFile method in the main window's class. Example below where my icon is copied to an Images folder at the root of my application:
this.SetIconFromFile(string.Format("{0}{1}Images{2}Logo.ico",
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location),
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar,
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar));
I use another image.icns as my applications icon file.
I've deleted ~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter/*.db and restarted my computer but the notification icon is still the default Mac icon for my application.
Stop your application from running in Xcode. Force quit the Notification Center process via Activity Monitor. Relaunch Notification Center and then launch your application. Your notifications should now display your application's icon you've provided in your AppIcon.appiconset.
Turns out you should probably keep your icons in an ".iconset". And have all the recommended sizes available for the notification center to pick up (e.g. might be 32 x 32, might be 16 x 16).
And to create this, you can use the "Icon Composer" app to convert your .icns file into a full blown icon set. The .icns file does end up in your built app package / bundle in the end, though.
Details can be found in Apple's "High Resolution Guidelines for OSX" document, under the "Create a set of icons that include high-resolution versions" section.
Archive your app, export it to your applications folder. When there is a copy of your app in Applications folder, notification icon is somehow visible. This worked in my case...
I have a super weird issue. I'm developing an iOS-app and just recently I noticed that I can not find my app on my iPhone. It shows up in the list when searching for the app and when I try to build my app on Xcode it fails because of my app's Core Data model is different from the one I'm building in Xcode. So I need do delete my app from my iPhone but it's hard when I can't find the actual app at all.
I've tried restarting my iPhone to no avail and I have also browsed every screen in the springboard to find my app but it is just not there.
Xcode 4.5 and iOS 6.0.1
On iOS 6, when you search for an app in Springboard (the launcher), it shows the name of the folder containing the app (if the app is in a folder). That might help you find it.
But if you've installed the app using Xcode, there's an easier way to delete it. Choose Window > Organizer from the menu bar, then click the Devices tab in the Organizer window. Find your device in the list of devices and click the “Applications” row under your device. The Organizer will show you a list of all the apps you have installed on the device using Xcode. You can click on an app in the list, then press the delete key on your keyboard, or click the Delete button at the bottom of the window, to remove the app from the device.
I am an iOS developer and did my first Cocoa Mac application using Xcode 4.2, I set the Logo image in the xcode itself and property list, but the application logo still has its default logo (the white sheet with two pens), how can I set Logo for my application?
Design your 512x512 icon and save it as png file. Open Icon Composer (installed with Xcode in /Developer/Applications/Utilities folder) and drag your png file to it and save your icon as icns.
Now in Xcode open your project and select the target. Drag your icns file to the "App Icon" box. That´s it! Build and run again...
You should place icon (icns format file) Your project target -> summary -> drag n drop in App icon box.
you need a .icns file rather than a straight png to get the file icon. This is essentially a collection of images at different sizes that mac os can use for different jobs.
as of mountain lion, the Icon Composer isn't available. You can build your icns file on the command line from a bunch of scaled and named bitmaps, or you can use the simple utility I built to do the job!
