While creating windows appx package electron-builder is taking default icon for app

• Version: 20.40.2

• Target: windows

I am creating my app using ionic cordova and after creating build for windows. Using electon-builder to create the appx file. By default appx is getting created inside dist folder. Now the issue which I am facing is whenever I create a build while launching I see only electron default Icon, even if i did set the buildDerectories and icon property properly.

I have set properties in package.json file as below:

{ 
     "build": {
        "extraFiles": [
          "some-internal-plugin-dist"
        ],
        "appId": "myCompany.myApp",
        "nsis": {
          "perMachine": true,
          "oneClick": false,
          "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true
        },
        "squirrelWindows": {},
        "files": [
          "electron.js",
          "www/**/*"
        ],
		 "directories": {
		"buildResources": "www/build"
		},
		"appx": {
		  "identityName": "myCompany.myApp",
		  "publisher": "CN=number",
		  "publisherDisplayName": "my publisher name",
		  "applicationId": "myApp",
		  "displayName": "myApp"
		},
        "win": {
          "certificateFile": "./certs/CordovaApp.wincert.pfx",
          "icon":  "www/build/win.ico",
          "publisherName": "my Company",
          "target": [
            {
              "target": "nsis",
              "arch": [
                "ia32"
              ]
            }
          ]
        },
        "nodeGypRebuild": "false",
        "npmRebuild": "false"
      }
    }

Please let me where am i doing wrong and what exactly should I set the properties? How and where to specify the assets all the assets for windows? So to resolve this can anyone please help?

This is what worked for me:

1. Downgraded electron-builder version to: 20.39.0
2. Changed the directories entry in package.json as :

   "buildResources": "build",
   "output": "build"}
   

3. Created appx named folder inside the build directory and created the build directory at package.json level
4. Added icon named “StoreLogo.png” inside build/appx directory that we have created earlier.
5. add the entry of the same in :

 "win": {
  "icon":"build/appx/StoreLogo.png"
}

1. After this just create the appx using electron-builder -w appx command

While installing the appx now i am able to see logo on launcher/install popup screen. Now I have one more doubt after complete installation i am still seeing the default electron logo at the task-bar and also in the apps & features if i search for my application. So can anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

@NehaTawar, did you ever get the “Best Match” icon fixed? I have the same issue, all my other icons are OK.
