Android Oreo Icon is incorrect on Unity 5.5.0p4

We have had a few users of our game on Android Oreo report that the icon for our game is small on the new Android Oreo release. I've attached an image below of how the icon displays, which is smaller than the other icons.

Are there any known ways to fix this?

We are currently using Unity 5.5.0p4 (and would prefer not to upgrade our existing project to a later version due to the size of the game and time it would take to upgrade and test our entire project).

 

Hey Evaldas,

I have uploaded a bug report of this issue, it can be found using Case ID 947966. This build contains only our Icon, Project Settings and our Android Manifest.

The report was submitted on a Google Pixel, running Android 8. Unfortunately we currently do not have a device to test on, or a list of any other devices that have this issue.

Thanks.

 

We are seeing the same issue with our game on a Pixel with Oreo.
This is with the latest Unity patch for 5.6.3 (p4)
Is there any update on a resolution or a workaround?

 

I believe this is part of Android Oreo's new Adaptive Icons feature.

https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive.html

Is there any word on if Unity will be updated to support exporting these icons from PlayerSettings? Or will we need to build our own pipeline?

 

@hba_infinity did you find workaround to fix that? I've tried some ways using the manifest but couldn't find any.

 

Is there a workaround to define these adaptive icons manually until the ability is provided by Unity?

 

We have two projects, one with the issue and the other one without.
This is using the exact same settings for the icon in both projects and the exact same image.
Is there a similar workaround to tell Unity to NOT try to use adaptive icons?

 

Waiting for this feature

 

Hi. Is it possible to do this without Android Studio? Can I just edit Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml and supply the additional .xml?

We're not using Gradle or Android Studio, and I just want to edit the icon without adding new tools etc. Possible?

 

We're using Unity 5.4.4 and the installed sdk version is 24, we still are seeing a small square icon on Google Pixel.

 

Is there an update on which Unity version will support this?

 

Thanks!

 

Anyone try this?

 

Hey, yes it worked.

 

If someone is still confused, we worked it out with the last two comments here:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/and...in-a-white-circle-but-not-all-of-them.501592/

Basically:
Create files:
- ic_background.png and ic_foreground.png (names not necessary to be these) into Android/res/drawable -folder
- app_icon.xml into Android/res/drawable-anydpi-v26 -folder

The content of the xml (this is all you should need for this):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<adaptive-icon xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<background android:drawable="@drawable/ic_background"/>
<foreground android:drawable="@drawable/ic_foreground"/>
</adaptive-icon>


So the folder structure is:
Plugins/Android/res/drawable/ic_background.png
Plugins/Android/res/drawable/ic_foreground.png
Plugins/Android/res/drawable-anydpi-v26/app_icon.xml

Note:
The foreground should be smaller (about half) of the background to be shown correctly (only tested on Pixel).

 

A warning for users building Android apps on Unity 2018.1+, if you only provide a app icon in the default icon slot - users with adaptive/round-icons will see the unity logo as app icon.

I've reported this to Unity, the provided default icon should also be used for the adaptive/round icons if possible - and if not they need to give proper warnings to developers that the default unity icon will be used.

If you just want to avoid providing round/adaptive icons you can set the Target API level to 24 in PlayerSettings for Android.

 

Sure, sent you a pm @Yury-Habets

 

I have created simple android library project that can be used to add adaptive icons to unity project.
https://github.com/alokright/UnityAdaptiveIconsSupport

 

To avoid upgrading to 2018.1 just for adaptive icons, is there any way we can use 2017.4's gradle build system to do the below? I'm completely ignorant about its capabilities except "it's a build system".

 

Well, I didn't know about adaptive icons until my client pointed about it. During development, I've updated to Unity 2018.1 and then 2018.2, everything seemed to work fine, until client told me that on his device he sees the Unity icon instead of the custom one. On my testing device I had normal icons and couldn't see the problem, but he has a circular icons and newer android. So I ended up with adding adaptive icons in the player slot.

But my question is, why Unity doesn't put default icon in the foreground slots of Adaptive Icons by itself? Why you decided to put unity icon there without any warning/info in the console? Can that be fixed?

Best

 

@_Paulius Thanks for clarifying. I just noticed that 2018.2.1 is out but according to release notes, that bug is still not fixed. I'll do a live test once I download, but I suspect it didn't manage to get into this release?

 

Thanks

 

The bug is still present in 2018.2.3f1

 

Is there any way to use square icon in Android 8?

 

The bug is finally gone in 2018.2.4f1
