Showing Splashscreen ICON instead of Application ICON

[Sasirekhamarella]

When we installed the APP, It should show Application Icon but it is showing Splashscreen Icon when we added the app to the home screen. Not working properly.

As many others I have the same problem. In commit f0f905d it seems to have removed the maskable part of the splash icon, which I am not sure but had a suspicion causes this issue. I have tried the current latest 2.2.18 version but the maskable splash icon is still in the manifest even while I forced regenerating the manifest and the icons. In some posts superPWA says this is not limited to them but as a result of Google change to interpration of icons. I am not sure what it is, either way it would already be better if the information would be more clear. If it isn't a bug on SuperPWA side, then update the details surrounding the icons inside of the interface. For example say the splash screen is currently used both for splash and application icons on the home screen of at least Android devices. Users expect the application icon to be proper icon but the splash icon is used instead causing usage issues.

UPDATE: I have manually edited the file manifest.php in public part of the superPWA wp content - plugins, I removed $icons_array[] = array( 'src' => $superpwa_settings['splash_icon'], 'sizes' => '512x512', // must be 512x512. 'type' => 'image/png', // must be image/png 'purpose'=> 'maskable', );

This removed the maskable of splash and now the application icon works as it should but then the splash screen also uses the application icon.
