default Electron icon is used reason=application icon is not set
See original GitHub issue- ElectronNET.API 5.22.13, netcoreapp2.2, electron-builder version=20.44.4, node 10.10.0:
- Target: windows
I use the win/icon option to add my own app icon:
"win": {
"icon": "Assets/icon.ico"
},
electron-builder keeps logging:
default Electron icon is used reason=application icon is not set
I also tried ElectronNET.WebApp which gives the same message.

Its probably not a bug. It took me aaages to get it to work. If you don’t get the path to your icon correct from the “current working folder” it defaults to the electron icon and you get that message.
