@jiahaog looks like your icon repository changed? Getting a 404 from London.

@mklaber thanks for the feedback 👍.

@jiahaog, any recent change with the icons repo?

ronjouch on 29 Jan 2018

@ronjouch this may just be a matter of semantics but the _build_ doesn't fail. Just the icon step fails (silently, unless in verbose mode).

I just installed nativefier and the inference seems to be failing for icons and the names. For example nativefier gmail.com just creates APP with generic icon. Is this a recent bug?

Hey @rajuashok thanks for the feedback! Yeah we seem to be having trouble with the icons repo; for now just download a PNG icon locally (e.g. to /tmp/icongmail.png) and nativefy explicitly with --icon /tmp/icongmail.png

@jiahaog any recent change with the icons repo?
