How to Change the App Launcher Icon in Flutter

The app launcher icon is the first thing a user sees when they install your app. Having a unique and appealing app launcher icon can help your app stand out from the competition. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to change the app launcher icon in Flutter.

1. First, we need to create the new app launcher icon that we want to use. The image should be a square PNG file with a resolution of 512x512 pixels.
2. Next, we need to replace the default app launcher icon in our Flutter project with the new image. To do this, navigate to the 'android' folder in your project and locate the 'ic_launcher.png' file. Replace this file with the new image that you created in step 1.
3. After replacing the 'ic_launcher.png' file, we need to update the app launcher icon configuration in our Android project. Navigate to the 'android/app/src/main/res' folder and locate the 'mipmap' folder. You'll see several folders with different sizes for the launcher icon. Replace the icon in each of these folders with the new image that you created in step 1.
4. Finally, we need to update the app launcher icon configuration in our Flutter project. Navigate to the 'pubspec.yaml' file in your project and add the following code:

flutter:
  assets:
    - mipmap/ic_launcher.png

Make sure to replace 'ic_launcher.png' with the name of your new app launcher icon file.

That's it! Now when you run your app, you should see the new app launcher icon on your device.
