The home AppIcon appears as it should but in settings I get the generic icon. I tried:

giving the extension its own assets and AppIcon asset.
giving the main app assets 2 targets, itself AND the extension
setting AppIcon appearances to "none" and iOS "all sizes" and providing 29pt and the other sizes.
Adding to info.plist and specifying "CFBundleIconFiles"
Yes, nuked derived data, switched off phone, everything.
Starting with just the standard 1024×1024 AppIcon (expecting Xcode to auto-generate all slices, including 29pt for Settings). It didn’t — Settings still shows the generic gear.

Question: What should I do to make the extension’s icon show up in Settings?

Environment • Xcode: 16.4 (16F6) • iOS: 18.5 (device) • Targets: iOS app + Call Directory extension • App icon pipeline: asset catalog (single-size initially, now legacy grid)

Solution: Update to new iOS. Presumably Reset or Erase settings also works.

It was the cache on the device, its practically permanent. Once it has an icon in settings, it will never change until the device cache is cleared.
