But see also here:
Because the app icon is used to generate all of the sizes, having a higher fidelity icon means sharper icons when they are downsampled (if we wanted to be pedantic, 576 is the LCM of the Android variants and would be a better choice than 512 when it comes to scaling). Eventually, for iOS we will also need to provide a 1024x1024 image in the app bundle for the App Store, so it made sense to pin the size to the needs of the various app store platforms (it needs 18 different variants). Note that a…
However, I couldn't see any differences when I uploaded a launcher icon with the size 192x192px or 512x512px to the assets. EDIT: And I would like to add that I can neither see differences nor determine differences/deviations analytically. So it doesn't seem to matter from which image size (192px or 512px) the corresponding launcher icons are generated.
