App icon not appearing in app switcher in ios

I have recently developed a set of icons for my ios app using https://makeappicon.com. This provides a folder of appropriately sized images. I then have dragged each of these images into the appropriate slot in the AppIcon section in Assets.xcassets. The icon shows up fine in on my phone screen but not in the app switcher (see circled in image). There are no errors showing.

enter image description here

I have: - Cleaned build folder and rebuilt - I have restarted my iPhone - I have manually placed all the images in the slots - I have also tried replacing the original AppIcon folder with the one provided by make appicon

All to no effect. Be grateful for any suggestions.

Ensure you have provided icons for all sizes, deploy, then restart the device to clear any caches.

I have been trying to figure out this issue, as I multiple times changed the icons removed the build, took new builds etc, but the app switcher icon was the default icon.

I have tried the app on a new phone and the desired icon was showing. So my guess is that the app switcher, (also apple watch OS's app switcher) has some sort of hardcore cache machanism.

If anyone coming from Google facing this issue, not sure how to flush this cache, but you can go ahead and ship your app, as this cache is only on your device.

Good luck!
