.NET MAUI App Icons & Splash Screens

Common Pitfalls

❌ Android adaptive icon clipping

Android adaptive icons crop to a circular or squircle safe zone. If the foreground fills the canvas, it will be clipped.

<!-- ❌ Single-layer icon — foreground fills entire canvas, gets clipped -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg"
          Color="#512BD4" />

<!-- ✅ Composed icon with scaled foreground — stays in safe zone -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg"
          ForegroundFile="Resources\AppIcon\appiconfg.svg"
          ForegroundScale="0.65"
          Color="#512BD4" />
