Setting up Android App Icon for the release APK

Question

Can someone help me understand how I can set the App Icon for the release APK? I was able to set it in the APK that I run from android studio. But it is not reflecting in the release APK.

in your manifest :

<application
        android:name=".Main.Services.App"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/yourIcon"
        android:label="@string/label"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/yourIcon"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:allowClearUserData="false"
        tools:targetAPI="19"

Setting the app icon in the Android application required changes in manifest.xml file

In Manifest file under application tag use android: icon=" path to the image icon file" Android:roundIcon="path to the image icon file" // required for latest android versions. Note:- You must have to provide both icons in order to make the icon file visible on all android versions.
