Icon is not assigned

I'm at Windows 11, and have the below:

1. app.ico
2. app.exe.manifest

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
   <assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

   </assembly>

3. release.bat

   rsrc -manifest app.exe.manifest -ico=app.ico -o rsrc.syso
   go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" readpdf.go

   Upon running the release.bat file, the output file had been generated as readpdf.exe not as mentioned in the manifest file, and does not have the required icon?

Thanks for reporting!

1. By chance, do you know if there's some way I can test stuff on Windows 11 without upgrading my only machine that has Windows 10 installed? I only learnt about Win 11 even existing from this issue you reported, I'm apparently quite out of the loop 😅
2. Not sure what do you mean by "not as mentioned in the manifest file"? Could I kindly ask you to try and explain it to me more simply, assuming I don't really know anything about manifest files (...which is true...)?

3. release.bat

rsrc -manifest app.exe.manifest -ico=app.ico -o rsrc.syso
go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" readpdf.go

I had a similar issue and fixed it by running go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui" without the readpdf.go entry point.
