.NET MAUI App Icon and Splash screen cannot be customized

See original GitHub issue

Okay sooooo… I ran into this same issue however, I’ve managed to get it working with my own custom app icon and well as my own custom splash screen. Albeit it’s not an animated splash screen, I was getting the exact same issues described above.

What I did was this.

Opened the Emulator and deleted the actual app from the device ( which I don’t think was necessary)
Renamed the old SVG files to splash_old.svg and appiconfg_old.svg respectively ( which I don’t think was necessary)
Added my custom splash.svg and appiconfg.svg files into their respective folders
Edited the csproj file namely removing this Color="#512BD4" from this line <MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg" ForegroundFile="Resources\AppIcon\appiconfg.svg"/>
Run a Rebuild Solution
Run Build to Pixel 5 - API 33 (Android 13.0 - API 33)

Custom Icon:

Custom_Icon

Custom Splash Screen:

Custom Splash

Hope this helps.

I think this PR will fix the splash screen since we now hash both the contents and the attibutes of splash screens: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/10812

But, icons are just normal images with a special attribute so I may need to verify that there is somehting similar for images.

Update

Using Version 17.4.0 after the Preview version of Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) seems to have fixed the issue.

I’ll close this issue now.
