How to change App icon on the Play Market's page

Question

I have a problem with Google Play. I can't change the app logo which showed in the Play Market's page of my app.

What did I do:

1) I changed the icon in the Google Play console (high definition icon 512x512);

2) I removed old instances of an old icon from /res directory;

3) I created new instances of the new icon in the /res directory (the launcher icon had changed on the device);

4) I uploaded the app to the Play Market.

Result: Launcher icon has changed on the device (and there no question to icons on devices), however, the app's page of Play Market shows the old app's icon.

Maybe important notes:

AndroindManifest.xml:

<application android:name=".AnalyticsApplication"
                 android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
-----
<activity android:name=".Activities.SplashScreenActivity_"
                  android:screenOrientation="portrait"
                  android:theme="@style/SplashScreenTheme"
            >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
------

(I use Splash Screen without "android:icon").

UPD. WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME (SOLUTION): My app is localized for three languages and High-res icon should be uploaded for every language (because the description icon was localized for 3 languages). Thank you for your time)

Answer 1

The icon in the Play store is entirely determined by the Play console entry, not by the APK. So everything to do with the manifest is irrelevant. You say you have updated the 512x512 high-res icon in the Play console. If this is true then your icon should have updated. Things which may have got in the way:

• did you definitely republish your app
• did you definitely wait long enough for your new app to reach all of Google's servers
• did you definitely look at the store listing on a device which hadn't cached the old listing? The Play store app uses a local cache of app listings to prevent the same information being downloaded over and over again. Have you tried clearing the cache for the Play store? You do this by
  • On your phone (not Play store) Settings >
  • Apps
  • Google Play Store
  • Storage
  • Clear cache
• you can also check it by looking at the Play store on the web (but make sure browser cache is cleared)
• make sure you don't have any app store listing experiments running with the old icon
• remember the icon can be Localized, like the screenshots and text. If you update the icon, you'll need to do it in every language.
