Google Play Console: Hi-res Icon: Your app icon appears to contain images or words you may not have permission to use

It's a simple background color and default videocam icon from Android Studio's Clip art:

I mean they themselves suggest this tool to be used by developers to generate icons.

What did I do wrong here?

Google Play has sent me the following email:

Solution

  • Yes, the issue seems was with the fact that the icon is quite simple (solid bg + a standard icon) and there are already many apps with similar icon, so I decided to add linear gradient (two colors) as background and changed icon to a similar one but a random one downloaded from web, also added a transparent abbreviation of the application name to the icon (three letters) using Adobe Illustrator (mask of two objects)

    Now they reviewed it and it's fine
