This plugin only changes the main app icon on the device homescreen. The icon in springboard and in other areas will not change and continue to show the original. (iOS)
Changing the app icon is only allowed when the app is in the foreground (iOS).
Android support is currently in beta. See the android-support branch for more info.
npm install @capacitor-community/app-icon
npx cap sync
The alternate icons need to be included within the app bundle and referenced in the project prior to using this plugin. It is not possible to switch to any icon on the fly without adding it to the project first. Below are the configurations steps for each platform.
Add the alternate icons directly to your android project in app/src/main/res
.
Each alternate icon is represented by an <activity-alias>
. Add all the alternative icons to the ApplicationManifest.xml
as child elements under <application>
. The name
attribute on <activity-alias>
must be prefixed with dot .
See ApplicationManifest.xml for full example.
<application>
<!-- ... -->
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|uiMode"
android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBarLaunch">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<!-- <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> -->
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity-alias
android:label="Stencil"
android:icon="@drawable/stencil"
android:roundIcon="@drawable/stencil"
android:name=".stencil"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
