The Icon step is mandatory to generate your native applications and highlight your brand.You should integrate an icon which will illustrate your Progressive Web App (PWA) and your your native apps.

The icon is a key visual element of your app. Web browsers use it as a favicon, it’s displayed in push notifications to identify the sender, and it’s displayed on the phone’s home screen.

Depending on the plan you are subscribed to, only images for the available platforms will be asked for in your back office.  

To set up your Icons: 
1. Go to the left swipe menu My App > DESIGN > General Design   
2. Click “Icon” on the right column

3. The Title

Whether you uploaded a custom icon or created it with the Wizard tool: 
On the main screen under your icon preview, enter a title for your app. 

This title will appear under the icon of your app when it is installed on your users’ devices. For this reason, it’s best not to use a very long title here. In this example, the title is “My App”.
