Re: Should use only drawable folder for single application icon

[Bryan Higgins <br...@bryanhiggins.net>]

I have logged an issue related to this [1]

On 3.5.0-0.2.6, I can no longer specify a single default icon for Android.
Is this by design?

The docs imply it should be possible and it worked on 3.5.0-0.2.4
