How do I create application's icon on mobile screen automatically?

Ok, what can I do to solve the problem?

It's not for my personal use.

25

How are you installing the app? Perhaps the method to install is causing this behaviour ?

I tried this but it didn't work

Thanx, I need to solve the problem by using appinventor if it's possible

Your App Icon should not be any shape other than a square. The final shape of the icon is defined by the device. Your web1024.png master image has a flaw in it's transparency, but it should not have transparency anyway.

So, here is a modified version of your Project, with a number of things corrected as well as the master image itself. The APK installs fine on my Android Device and the icon is set on the home screen. When launched, UTube is displayed.

android 7 , the app worked well but the same problem with the icon is stell there

Are you testing an APK or just using the Companion. If the Companion, it is probably still using the original icon file. You can download the icon file I made (from the media box in App Inventor), give it an entirely different name then re-load it.

I tested the APK file but I'll try another device and see what happens.. Thank you.
