Cannot change project icon on expo.dev
Build/Submit details page URL
https://expo.dev/accounts/oliver.larcher/projects
Summary
I cannot find any option for changing the icon for a particular project on expo.dev. In the project settings menu, there is an option to change the display name under "Project display info", but not the icon. It appears that the icon is initially set when uploading a build with icon for the first time, but it is not updated then the app icon changes.
Managed or bare?

✔ Check for common project setup issues
✔ Check npm/ yarn versions
✔ Check Expo config (app.json/ app.config.js) schema
✔ Check for legacy global CLI installed locally
✔ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages
✔ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK
✖ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK

Go to https://expo.dev/accounts/<ACCOUNT>/projects and try to change a project's icon.
Any chance you figured this out? It's been driving me nuts for some time.
No, unfortunately. I'm starting to wonder if changing the icon used to be an option that was later removed, as the icons I still see in my project list are the ones for projects I created over two years ago. It seems new projects don't get the app logo defined at first build time by default anymore.
+1 I can't find anywhere how to change the actual project icon on expo.dev. The actual app's icon is fine, but I just want to change the project icon on expo.dev and I can't find out how?
@olarcher, you marked this as needs review last November. Based on the history here, this is a real problem with expo.dev that needs to be resolved, not just reviewed. It's very frustrating to see outdated and missing icons in the management UI despite multiple builds/deploys with updated app icons, and yet have no way to resolve it.
Edit: sorry, you're the original reporter. I'll at-message someone else!
Edit: @szdziedzic, I'm picking on you because you've merged in some PRs on this project, and I'm hoping you'll know whose attention to bring this to at Expo.
Hi,
Thanks for highlighting this issue. We are aware that we are missing this capacity on our website, we are thinking of adding it in the future, but we currently don't have the engineering capacity to do that. Generally, we understand that it might be problematic and want to solve it, but I can't promise any ETA at the moment.
Thanks for the update - just knowing that it's not in indefinite limbo is helpful!

+1 The icon for my App changed in stores. I would like to be able to change it in expo too.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the hold-up is here. An app icon is part of the Expo config and is uploaded to Expo for builds. There shouldn't even be a need to add a feature to the expo.dev website - just use the most recent app icon.

Not stale, still awaiting fix

Any news on this? If we can't change it manually, it should at least get the icon from the last build when we run "eas build".
Just adding one more voice to the problem. We've been updating our projects and 2 out of 3 projects have new app icons that have nothing to do with actual.
You can just simply let us paste a link to the image if uploading an image is too much work at the moment.
@nikita1469 this issue is about changing the project icon of your projects listed on the expo.dev, not the app icon.
