I have a report from multiple users of DiscourseHub on my Maker Forums Discourse that our site icon isn’t showing up in DiscourseHub, but other icons are. For example: [image] Our icon is not a T. Searching, I found this page here that says that it’s the large icon: [image] Which icon/setting controls this icon in the Discourse Hub app? Support [Image-1] However, large icon is set to what I expect: [image] Which icon does DiscourseHub ultimately now look to for its icons?

The T there is a new feature of DIscourseHub, but we only show it as a fallback. So something is incorrect with the icon fed by the site. The app pulls this info from https://forum.makerforums.info/site/basic-info.json: { "logo_url": "https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/original/3X/0/5/05584cbc2f5f1b34f185f32d0629dee77d136aaf.svg", "logo_small_url": "https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/original/3X/4/3/43eb68a2d10cdc07b8344fe88f71c331398a3666.svg", "apple_touch_icon_url": "https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/optimized/3X/4/9/49e3e12260db3dff032cf3e247e0e0a29f4e1ab5_2_180x180.svg", "favicon_url": "https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/optimized/3X/0/0/002f5ec485a94cb73fb086d5bc99be9659a3c6d2_2_32x32.png", "title": "Maker Forums", "description": "Forums for makers, 3D printing, Lasers, CNC routers, and more", "header_primary_color": "f3f3f3", "header_background_color": "333333", "login_required": false, "locale": "en", "include_in_discourse_discover": true, "mobile_logo_url": "https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/original/3X/f/d/fd7ea1ba354a5fe92751ffee6b94956376073027.svg" } The apple_touch_icon_url there is an SVG file. Unfortunately, rendering SVGs in React Native is complicated, it requires extra libraries which is too much overhead. That’s why the logo isn’t being loaded. You can ask the Maker forums admins to: replace the SVG with a PNG for apple_touch_icon_url remove and add the site again to Discourse Hub, it should be loading the new file

I’m one step removed from this since I’m not even using the app, but the question is passed on :crossed_fingers: :grin:

In the immortal words of Fezzik, I am the brute squad Maker Forums admin. Thanks, I can render a PNG for the apple_touch_icon SVG. $ curl -s https://forum.makerforums.info/site/basic-info.json | jq -r .apple_touch_icon_url https://forum.makerforums.info/uploads/default/optimized/3X/a/4/a4e106feadbfd5408e36e343a6193def96852f8b_2_180x180.png

Does the icon show up when you remove the forum from the app and add and connect it again?
