What is the URL for the icon of a UWP app?

Is there some URL for an app's icon on the Windows Store?

I want to link to it, so that if I update that icon, the image on my website will be automatically updated too.

(I'm asking because I think I saw that mentioned somewhere, though searching now, I can't find anything like that.)

What you are trying to do is not possible.

In your app manifest, you must declare the icon/tiles of your app. They will be part of the app package and cannot be changed.

You can still send custom tile update to your application tile but that will never change the default tile/icon.

You can have a look at the appx manifest's VisualElements documentation for the logo, small logo etc images paths remarks:

A string between 1 and 256 characters in length that ends with ".jpg", ".png", or ".jpeg" that can't contain these characters: <, >, :, %, ", |, ?, or *. In this string, the / and \ characters can't be the first or last characters. Also, the string can contain / or \ but not both.

Only local, package relative paths are allowed.
