What problem does this feature solve?
Having the possibility to provide a high-resolution icon and generate all the different icon resolutions for different devices to be used in both the manifest.json and index.html
What does the proposed API look like?
Input: a simple file picker that can point to a png file format and should throw a warning if the picture is not of a high enough resolution
Output: by default, it will point to public\img\icons.
here an example just for a getting an idea: https://www.favicon-generator.org/

I think it could be a 3rd party plugin.

Yeah, image processing is going to be a big dependency and we don't want to force users who don't need this feature to download mbs of unrelated code.

@yyx990803 it is a dev dependency and pretty much everyone rather would download few MB of dependencies than manually create 14 differently sized icons.

What did the author use to generate the files inside public/icons? I've tried various favicon generators but not one has saved out matching file name conventions or sizes yet.

I recently came across the same problem, so i create a small python script to generate icons.
it's not perfect, you have to do this manually, but i hope it will help any one in the future.
remember to create a folder called 'icons' where all the auto generate icons will be stored
