Per the icon docs, make sure your icon for macOS is in ICNS format. It’s important to note that macOS has an app icon cache, so during development it may not show up until that cache evicts the entry for your app. (Use StackOverflow or similar to find out how to clear that cache.)

Hi @malept, I think it’s important to add that note about macOS app icon cache, I’ve been trying to build with the icon for a few hours with no success, until I found this 😃

Then used :

sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store; sudo find /private/var/folders/ \( -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -or -name com.apple.iconservices \) -exec rm -rfv {} \; ; sleep 3;sudo touch /Applications/* ; killall Dock; killall Finder

Then built the app again and this time I had the custom icon.
