How to enable Material You icon for Android for my MAUI app?

Question

I want those icons that change the background and foreground color based on your Material You color scheme. How do I do this?

Playing around with the default .NET 7 app.

I tried changing AndroidManifest.xml to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:supportsRtl="true"></application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

I also tried manually creating an ic_launcher.xml in the Resources\mipmap-anydpi-v26 with no luck.

Answer 1

After doing a little bit more research I have found icon.kitchen. Where once you generate your icon, download them, and extract the res folder into your Android\Resources folder it works.

I hope this can help save people research time!
