Starting Nov 9th, 2023 Google TV will require developers to provide a square app icon asset as part of the submitted TV app package in addition to the existing banner asset. The provided square app icon asset will be surfaced in circular format on the For You tab in the user’s Your Apps row and will be the primary asset users see when they launch your app. Please refer to the TV App Icon Guidelines for more guidance on creating app icons for your TV app.

What do I need to do? Ensure that you’ve submitted an updated APK which includes the square app icon assets as defined in the TV App Icon Guidelines by Nov 9th, 2023.

What happens if I do not provide a square icon by Nov 9th, 2023? If your app is already installed on a user’s device or a new user installs your app but there is no launcher icon asset provided, users will see the below Android default app icon. Default Android App Icon

What devices will be impacted? This update will apply to all existing (in-field) and new Google TV devices.

Do I still need to provide the 320x180-pixel app banner asset that exists today? Yes. The rectangular banner asset will still be displayed throughout other areas of the UI so please ensure to include both the square and rectangular assets in your submission.
