MAUI iOS - None of the input catalogs contained a matching stickers icon set or app icon set named "appicon"

[aboulinguez]

Description

During the build of my MAUI app project (before running it on iOS) I got this error :

None of the input catalogs contained a matching stickers icon set or app icon set named "appicon".
C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.iOS.Sdk\16.2.1024\tools\msbuild\iOS\Xamarin.Shared.targets

In my .csproj :

<ItemGroup>
	<None Remove="Resources\AppIcon\icon.svg" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
	<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\icon.svg" />
</ItemGroup>

The fact is before that, I was not able to change my app icon and splashcreen by replacing the default files given in the MAUI app project template. I got this error when I try to use a new icon file instead of the default one that I have deleted from the project.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new MAUI app project

Delete both "appicon.svg" and "appiconfg.svg" files from the project.

Add a new svg file to be the new icon.

Set this new file build action to MauiIcon

Try to run the project on a physical iOS device

I too have this issue. I can run/debug on Android devices and the emulator, but nothing works when targeting iOS.

I had two entries for XSAppIconAssets for some reason, and was receiving this error. So I removed it, and it built.

[Jake-Derrick]

In the info.plist you have

<key>XSAppIconAssets</key>
<string>Assets.xcassets/appicon.appiconset</string>

The AppIcon file name is icon.svg

What worked for me was making sure those name matched, ex rename the svg to appicon.svg or in info.plist to icon.appiconset

I had the same problem what fixed it for me was renaming my icon file from "orpheus_icon.png" to "orpheus.png" and changing this line in the info.plist to Assets.xcassets/orpheus.appiconset

same error on build, for me help only setting default name appicon.png or appicon.svg for iOS platform, but it would be nice if custom naming working without custom editing Assets.xcassets config.

Hi @aboulinguez. We have added the "s/try-latest-version" label to this issue, which indicates that we'd like you to try and reproduce this issue on the latest available public version. This can happen because we think that this issue was fixed in a version that has just been released, or the information provided by you indicates that you might be working with an older version.

You can install the latest version by installing the latest Visual Studio (Preview) with the .NET MAUI workload installed. If the issue still persists, please let us know with any additional details and ideally a reproduction project provided through a GitHub repository.

This issue will be closed automatically in 7 days if we do not hear back from you by then - please feel free to re-open it if you come back to this issue after that time.

Verified this issue with Visual Studio Enterprise 17.9.0 Preview 2.1. Not repro on iOS platforms.
As Jake-Derrick said, you need to right-click info.plist to open it in XML (Text) Editor mode, and edit the appicon.appiconset name to be consistent with the name of the svg image you added.
