My app’s URL: [aperafdemo.glideapp.io](http://aperafdemo.glideapp.io) (if not try [demo.aperaf.com](http://demo.aperaf.com)) Hello, I believe it is a bug since I have already done that same task for another app I have created and it worked perfectly. When I try to add my app on the home screen of my IPhone, the icon displayed is a screenshot of the app page instead of my app icon. ![GIF-2020-05-13-09-46-44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/6de9dd0d9a00d0f17c30bebbf4e6a011e29d8cd9.gif) Look at the gif above. How can I fix that? Thanks 🙂 ---

Sometimes it take some time (a minute?) if the app is too heavy. If it doesn’t work, try resetting your phone. ---

Same issue here, nothings work (clearing cache, incognite, etc) I wrote to support, the dev team is looking at, hope can find the solution soon. ---

Like @eltintero mentioned, I’ve found that the icon eventually loads if you wait a minute or so after pressing “add to home screen” but before hitting “add”. ---

Yea, it happened to me with other apps, no with this one, if you add an emoji it show the emoji, but no the image ---

what file format is your image? PNG works best. Also make sure the filename is simple…no punctuation and keep it short. ---

Yep, PNG with name “favicon”, nothing works my friend, I thinks is problem with Firebase, look the attachment. ![Screen Shot 2020-05-13 at 8.50.09 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/6c789a37ea458b9aca561e8a52bf08538b2084fb.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-05-13 at 8.54.42 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/2/233436df277178c8ccd08af10ac4766acbdf5182.png) ---

You on a mac? What happens if you open it in Preview…do an export to PNG (redundant…I know) and then reupload to Glide? ---

I have the same issue on the home screen app icon. It worked fine on the first one then the second app - basically duplication of the first, it doesn’t work. It shows the icon then overlays with a screenshot. ---

That’s exactly the same thing that happens for me. Maybe there is a thing related to duplicate apps? ---

This is a bug. I tried with apps I’ve already created, too. Not pulling the uploaded icon…only a screenshot or emjoi. ---
