Electron — Can't get custom icon to appear

问题

I'm having an issue setting the icon for my Electron app in two different ways:

Non-Packaged (Running the app via terminal)

My main.js does specify an 'icon' value, pointing to the icon file, but it does not apply.

Packaged (with electron-packager)

My package.json file specifies the 'icon' key, pointing to the icon file, and I have the .icns (Mac) file in the build directory. I used electron-packager to build the app, but the icon is not applied, the default electron icon is used instead.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, everything appears correct.

If you mean the icon on the dock, on MAC can should use:

const app = electron.app;
const image = electron.nativeImage.createFromPath(
  app.getAppPath() + "/public/YOUR_APP_IMAGE_NAME"
);
app.dock.setIcon(image);

There is a good tutorial here:

Follow the steps but make sure you don't skip anything.

This is also a relevant issue on GitHub:

You can add this script to package.json and it works perfectly fine. Mostly its because of the path issues.

"package-mac": "electron-packager . --overwrite --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --icon=assets/icons/mac/icon.icns --prune=true --out=release-builds",

If you come across this issue on Mac OS, it may be the icon cache that is messing things up. It was the case for me. I used the following command to clear it :

sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store; sudo find /private/var/folders/ \( -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -or -name com.apple.iconservices \) -exec rm -rfv {} \; ; sleep 3;sudo touch /Applications/* ; killall Dock; killall Finder

Then I built the app again and this time it I had the icon I specified with electron-packager.
