Ionic-cli: Generated icons not being recognized by Android Emulator or Devices

[xke]

Short description of the problem:

I tried to update the default Robot icon, and it didn't quite work.

What behavior are you expecting?

Running "ionic resources --icon" with a new image file, and then rebuilding will make the new icon appear.

Steps to reproduce:

1. "ionic resources --icon" on new image file
2. ionic build android
3. ionic run android

Bug is that it's still the default Robot icon.

Turns out that the icons in the platforms/android/res/mipmap-* folders are still the default Robot thing, and are the ones being used. I had to manually replace those files with new files in order to get the expected behavior to happen.

Post the output of ionic info below please

I am also experiencing this problem.
cordova -v #6.4.0
ionic -v #2.1.8

Both of these have the stock Cordova robot icon.
./platforms/android/res/mipmap-*/icon.png
./platforms/android/res/drawable-port-*/screen.png

I did notice that the correct files are being written to:
./res
, and are seemingly unused.

This seems to be a workaround:
cp -r ./res/* ./platforms/android/res/.

I just realized that another workaround is:
cordova build --release android

(via: https://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/publishing.html)

So the bright side is that the actual release APK has the correctly updated icon & splash screens.

The confusion is that during the pre-release testing, it's not working as expected.

Thanks 👍
Hadn't gotten that far since dev kept breaking ;-)

@ZiFFeL1992 Is 6.1.0 already available? I tried cordova platform update android and npm install -g cordova@latest and am still on the 6.0.0 version.

[guillenotfound]

Steps:

Ionic rm platform android
Ionic add platform android

If it doesn't work add @6.1.0 before android on add command.
