The icon of my iOS application is not displayed in iPads (but fine with simulators) [Swift, iOS, Xcode]

I am creating an iOS application for iPads with Swift 5, Xcode 13.1. Last time I changed my icons by replacing images in Assets.xcassets. However, suddenly the app icon became not properly displayed on my iPad for some reason. Now the app icon is just a grid.

There are two weird things happening:

  1. The icons are actually properly displayed when testing with simulators.

  2. Then I reversed all of the modifications using GitHub, but the app still does not show its icon, even with using all files that used to show the icon properly.

I have tried:

  1. rebooting my MacBook Pro and iPads (mini 6th & pro 11 inch.)
  2. clean build,
  3. made sure App Icons Source was appropriately selected
  4. recreate new iOS app icon in Assets with Xcode
  5. tested with other icon files that are confirmed to be working with other apps
  6. re-install Xcode
  7. Tried with my iPhone

However, none of the above solved the problem. I would appreciate it very much if I could know what is happening and how I can show the app icon properly.

Update!

I updated iPads and iPhones to iOS 15.1, and the problem was solved... temporally. When changing the icon files, I realized that the icons were not displayed properly with iPads but not with iPhones and. All of the simulators stopped displaying the icons properly. Further playing with Xcode, I realized that include all app icon assets was ticked, so I changed it to ticked and vise versa. This appeared to cause the problem..., But honestly could not replicate the problem that clearly!

Currently, the changing icons are appropriately reflected in my iPad Pro 6th gen, but not in my iPhones. Simulators are not showing icons appropriately either!

I would really appreciate it if somebody could explain what is happing to me.

I updated iPads and iPhones to iOS 15.1, and the problem solved completely!! Now all icons are displayed properly.

Update 1

The above solve the problem... temporally. Then, further playing with Xcode, I realized that include all app icon assets was ticked and this was causing all of the icon problems.

Once I ticked off include all app icon assets, I was actually able to change the image files from Assets and reflect it on my app.

Update 2

When I reopened Xcode again today, for some reason, all simulators displayed icons properly. iPhones and iPads are working fine as well. include all app icon assets does not SEEM to have influence now...?

I honestly have no idea.. But, I could say if somebody is struggling with the same icon issue, updating everything might change the situation...
