    BB version?
    Android Studio version?
    How big is the icon?
    It must be at least 512x512 pixels, PNG and with a background, that is, the PNG does not have transparency, also it must be a square or with the edges at a minimum.

    @jcalle:
    BB version? --> 3.2.0
    Android Studio version? --> 3.6.2
    How big is the icon? --> I rebuilt it to 512x512px in .png without transparencies. I attach it here (just a test)
    It must be at least 512x512 pixels, PNG and with a background, that is, the PNG does not have transparency, also it must be a square or with the edges at a minimum. --> Done, tested and same result...

    @TheGameAppStudio :

    The issue not caused of the game icon
    most of data inside res folder must be xml format but it seems it is not
    maybe it's auto changed to anther format,

    Track the file path and see what what is going on there.
    Exprted gamefolder\android\app\src\main\res
    This is an example of what you should see inside one of docs inside res
    XML Docs Format...

    Make a game of the examples and add 1 icon, title, name to your game and do not modify anything.

    Can you try this project?

    Hey guys,
    i tried to delete all the "Icon?" files, by some ways it generate some other errors.

    Finally deleting all the "Icon?" files inside the "android" folder and inside all the other sub-folders it works.

    Possible that this is just a OSX hidden files incompatibility?

    Anyway, now when i export the .apk file the phone says "APK NOT INSTALLED"... argh! If simulated on the phone in debug mode it works!

    Suggetions or threads about?

    Thanks a lot guys!
