Where do you get the second icon? AppInventor only creates one icon, and extensions can't add xml resources.

But you can fork the open source ai2, add new features to AppInventor, run it locally, and build the apps you want.

There’s an alternative solution:

Simply set a different icon in the Kodular app settings.
Build an .apk file.
Upload it to a drive.
Reset the default icon in your app.
Make sure your APK with a modified icon is downloaded from a URL.
After downloading, prompt the user to update the app, and therefore the icon.

It’s not the best solution, but it’s all I can offer.

Some time has passed, and I think it's now possible. It needs to be tested. But you'll have to compile such an extension with custom icons yourself.
