Hello,

On Android platform, the Xamarin icon named icon.png is under mipmap-mdpi, mipmap-xhdpi, mipmap-xxhdpi, mipmap-xxxhdpi folders now. An easy way to change the icon is to replace the icon.png : design a set of icons in different sizes, and put each icon into the corresponding folder, make sure each icon is named icon.png, then the old icon file will be replaced.
The launcher-foreground.png needs to be updated as well.

A set of six generalized densities:
ldpi (low) ~120dpi
mdpi (medium) ~160dpi
hdpi (high) ~240dpi
xhdpi (extra-high) ~320dpi
xxhdpi (extra-extra-high) ~480dpi
xxxhdpi (extra-extra-extra-high) ~640dpi

If you change the icon file name, please update the name in icon.xml and icon_round.xml, and update the Icon reference in MainActivity.cs.

On iOS platform, refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/app-fundamentals/images-icons/app-icons?tabs=macos

Pay attention to uninstalling the app and delete obj/bin to check the effect of the new icon.
