Windows Store App Icon doesn't appear on Metro

In this occasion the problem I'm facing is related with the icon that appears in the metro menu in Windows 8, when developing an App. At the beginig, I was able to see the icon when developing the App (pressing F5). However, now I can't see the App Icons in the Metro menu. But when searching the App using the Windows icon + Q, I can see the icon of my app.

I realized out the this star happening when I was changing the default splash screen and icons by a custom ones. I have a red icon for the spalsh screen for scale 100 saying: A mixture of images with and without "scale" or "targetsize" qualifiers exists in this project for the logical name "Assets...." When a mixture exists, files without the qualifier are ignored.

I'm not sure if this is causing that the icon is not appearing.

Does any one have a clue?

Regards!

In Windows 8.1 new installed Application doesn't appear in the start menu automatically. You have to pin them there.

For this got to the metro start menu, swipe down (or click the arrow at the bottom left), search for your app -> select it -> select pin to start in the app bar.
