App Icon Not Appearing

[danzuck]

Hi all.

We've been developing a new app but when we sideload or use early access the app icon does not show up anywhere on phone.

For the early access/alpha testing I installed via play store website. The app shows up in Play Store when I enter name and it's available on Settings -> App & notifications -> App info. But I cannot launch it from Play Store or settings and the icon does not appear anywhere on my phone? The Play Store website also says the app is installed.

So it's installing but I cannot find and/or launch it

Welcome to Android Forums. I'm sure some of the DEVs, here, will have insight. Me? I'm just a pedestrian, civilian consumer. Good luck!

Are you installing via the play store APP, and not the play store website?

I have to ask. Did you add the icon in the Manifest?

android:icon="@drawable/icon"

By the way, we have an app development section where all the devs hangout...
