How to change application icon in Xamarin.Forms?

Question

I replaced all the images everywhere (by this I mean in drawable folders and all Windows Assets folders and iOS Resources folder), but it still shows me the default Xamarin

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but the following helped resolve it:

1. Go to MainActivity.cs (in the Solution Explorer)
2. Look for where it says 'Icon ='
3. Change the location of the Icon, but don't include the extension, i.e. jpg, png, etc. (For ex. Icon = "@drawable/weatherIcon")
4. Save the file
5. Restart debugging (the little restart icon beside the stop and pause icon around the top right-hand side of your screen)
