You need to add an icon to your APK while uploading App to google play

Question

I dont know where i am going wrong . I need to upload APK to google play and whenever i am trying to upload it , it is showing an error message as displayed in the attached screenshot. The error is that " You need to add an icon to your APK " but for sure i have already added an icon to my APk in my manifest file . I dont what it is asking for whether it is error because of icon resolution or there is something i am lacking with . pls help .

Solution 1

It is likely that in your manifest that you do not have an icon defined or are referencing an image that does not exist.

Solution 2

I had the same problem make sure that you don't have \n in the name of your application

Solution 3

The same problem but in my case I was missing "android:icon" attribute in application element, note I had it only in activity.

<application ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
    <activity ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">

Solution 4

After long and painful search, found that ApplicationAttributes in Manifest file was empty, inspite of mentioning android:icon="@drawable/app_icon" in AndroidManifest.xml.

Filling up ApplicationAttributes solved my problem.

@user1634451: sorry, I am unable to get it. Can you please explain?

@MiteshShah if you have a new line character in the application name google doesn't let you upload it

Thank you for the reply. But, there is not new line character in app name. It's just a single word. Still I am facing this issue.

Is there any special characters in your app name?
