Launcher icon path

MIT App Inventor Help
1

How can I insert into listView an image = launcher icon taken from another apk file made in app Inventor and installed in my Android? What is the path to icon of another app?

You can't. The launcher icon is in the assets (app package) of a compiled App (APK. AAB).
There is no externally accessible path to another app's assets (internal storage) (at least not on a non-rooted device).

On my device (Google Pixel 4a, Android 13) I have a folder here:
/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/.Packages

that contains icon image files for "some" installed apps on my phone.....

Any package manager extension can fetch icon of all apps.

Yes, but doesn't QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES require Google's consent?
If I remember correctly, this permission is no longer allowed in the Play Store (without a formal request).
