    "@schematics/angular:directive": {
      "prefix": "app"
    }
  }
}

In index.html i have <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">.

favicon.ico located in src/favicon.ico.

I have already tried to clear cash and restart app multiple times as people advised in similar questions, but it didn't help. Also tried to add dummy param to favicon in index.html like href="favicon.ico?any=param"

What should i do for make it works? Thank you.

Put your favicon.png in your asset folder and change the path in index.html like so:

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="./assets/favicon.png">

The public folder for images and static stuff is /assets. Put the icon-image in there.

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="assets/images/icon.png">
