How to provide different Android app icons for different gradle buildTypes?

Question

I have two build types set in my gradle file: debug and release. I\'d like to be able to set a different app icon for the debug build

Step by step solution, including replacing mipmap-anydpi-v26 and keeping files for all dimensions:

First define in build.gradle (Module: app) your build type in android -> buildTypes -> debug, internal, etc

On the project hierarchy, below Android, right click on app -> New -> Image Asset -> in Path choose your icon -> any other changes on Background Layer and Legacy -> Next -> in Res Directory choose your desired build type (debug, internal, main, etc) -> Finish

That way the icons will replace every old icon you had.
