Dynamically change app icon

Question

Is there a way to dynamically change your application icon?
For example, your app icon changes to an xmas themed icon on xmas (it doesn't matter if you have to open your app for it).

Answer 1

Hello,

It is no possible to change your app icon dynamically in MAUI.

Please refer to the following content from Change the icon.

In your project file, the <MauiIcon> item designates the icon to use for your app. You may only have one icon defined for your app. Any subsequent <MauiIcon> items are ignored.
After changing the icon file, you may need to clean the project in Visual Studio. To clean the project, right-click on the project file in the Solution Explorer pane, and select Clean. You also may need to uninstall the app from the target platform you're testing with.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
