Hello @mpilija,

The reported error is most likely related to the dimensions of the image used to generate the icons for your app. Please, have in mind that only completely square images should be used as a base for the icon generation. If you provide an image with irregular shape (with different width and height), the generated icons will not meet the iOS requirements for icon sizing and the build will fail on the CompileAssetCatalog step.

Having said that, can you please try using a square image as a base for the icon generation and let me know if this resolves the reported issue.
