Can´t build APK anymore, Generating icons... Task errored

MIT App Inventor Help

Dear Community,

I have been using the MIT app for years to design my app. Now I wanted to release another update today and have only made a few changes to my app.

But I get the following error message:

[ReadBuildInfo] Starting Task

Can anyone help me?

Go into Project Properties and either:

remove your app icon

or replace your app icon with a square png of dimensions no more than 1024x1024

It worked. Many, many thanks.
But I would never have thought of ending the icon because I never changed it. Is this a new rule?
