How to add icons to React Native app


I am making a React Native app. I would like to customize the app icon (meaning the icon that you click on to start the app). I have Googled this, but I keep finding different types of icons that refer to different things. How do I add these types of icons to the app?

    Android Icons

    Update 2019 Android

    The latest versions of react native also supports round icon. For this particular case, you have two choices:

    A. Add round icons: In each mipmap folder, add additionally to the ic_launcher.png file also a round version called ic_launcher_round.png with the same size.

    B. Remove round icons: Inside yourProjectFolder/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml remove the line android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"and save it.

    Otherwhise the build throws an error.
