App Icon Not Showing iSimulator or TestFlight (Assets.xcassets Fully Configured)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been troubleshooting this for days — my app icon doesn’t show in the Simulator or TestFlight builds, despite what seems like a perfect setup.

✔️ What I’ve Already Verified:

• AppIcon.appiconset includes all required PNGs (20x20 up to 1024x1024)
• Contents.json is valid and complete (see attached)
• Asset catalog folder is named AppIcon
• Set correctly in Project > General > App Icon Source = "AppIcon"
• Cleaned build folder, restarted Xcode, and tried on multiple simulators
• Even used a fresh Xcode demo project — same result

🧪 Setup Details:

• Xcode version: [replace with your version, e.g. 15.3]
• iOS Deployment Target: [e.g. iOS 16.0]
• App Type: SwiftUI

🔍 Screenshots Attached:

1. Assets.xcassets structure
2. Project > General tab (App Icon section)
3. Info.plist
4. Contents.json
5. Blank icon on simulator home screen

❓ Questions:

1. Could this be a metadata or cache corruption?
2. Is there a known issue with icons not rendering in recent Xcode builds?
3. Any workaround to force refresh the icon system?

Any help is deeply appreciated — thank you in advance!
