We updated the icon for our iOS app over 8 months ago. The new icon has been live in App Store Connect and on the App Store listing since then, and the old icon is no longer included in the build or metadata.
However, when searching for the app on Google from an iOS device, the App Store result (on Google) still displays the old icon. Everywhere else (including the App Store itself), the new icon shows correctly.
What we've tried already:
- Triple checked that the old icon is not present in the app build or website
- Added MobileApplication schema with the new icon to our website
- Waited... (8 months and counting)
It seems this might be related to how App Store metadata is cached externally. Has anyone else run into this, and if so, did you find a way to get Google to refresh the icon it shows in search results?
