In Xamarin Forms (Android and IOS) how can I reset the app icon to the Xamarin default icon?

Question

I want to start all the theme and style customization from scratch.

In Android, I tried to replace the whole Resources folder for one that I generated with a blank Android app but I got several errors saying resources files were not found.

Thanks

Xamarin.Android :

You need copy your icon to Resource\Drawable... folder, after all the icons are copied to the Xamarin.Android project, open the Android Manifest by right clicking on the properties of your Project Solution.

Select Android Manifest and select @drawable/yourIcon from the Application icon.

Xamarin.iOS :

You could refer to the official documents : Xamarin.iOS Application Icons.

EDIT :

You could download the Xamarin Android Icon, put them in Resource\Drawable or Resource\mipmap folder, then select @drawable\icon from the Application icon combo box:

For more detail information, you could read the document, you could see how to set icon at step 24. Then your project will have the original Xamarin icon.
