Large icon not rendering in DiscourseHub as site logo

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:

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
