Changing icon on Android creates a new app

[sergiyvergun]

Every time I'm changing the icon on Android - it creates a new app with selected icon.

AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        package="com. ....">

            android:name="android.hardware.microphone"
            android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
            android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
            android:required="false" />

    <!-- io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication is an android.app.Application that
         calls FlutterMain.startInitialization(this); in its onCreate method.
         In most cases you can leave this as-is, but you if you want to provide
         additional functionality it is fine to subclass or reimplement
         FlutterApplication and put your custom class here. -->

Changing icon in app:

await DynamicIconFlutter.setIcon(
            icon: name,
            listAvailableIcon: [
              'app_icon_gradient',
              'app_icon_light',
              'app_icon_dark'
            ]);

How to fix this?

Can you share your project link?

Can you share your project link?

I can't as it's not open source. I've provided the code here. If you want, we can schedule a call and I'll show you the project.

I am the same. Have you found the solution?

Sorry you guys for my late reply, it's been a while since the last time i took a look on this plugin.

Please try to add one more activity-alias like below to check if the problem's gone @tientt1304 @sergiyvergun :

    <activity-alias
     android:label="Your app name"
     android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
     android:name=".default"
     android:enabled="false"
     android:targetActivity=".MainActivity">

        <meta-data
            android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
            android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
            />       

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity-alias>

And one more thing to check is if do you add the item "MainActivity" to your icon array list like document did mention? const List list = ["icon_1", "icon_2", "icon_n", "default", "MainActivity"]

The latest docs is not on pub.dev right now, please read it here: https://github.com/chuanpham/dynamic_icon_flutter/blob/main/README.md
