I have an Electron app which I want to distribute to all operating systems.

I have an issue with the Linux release file. I've tested both the .deb file and the .AppImage file.

The problem is the icon: while if I run my app on Ubuntu using .deb file it correctly shows the icon, when I use the .AppImage it doesn't.

Also, the icon works fine when I run it in development mode as well as when released for Windows and macOS.

Why is that so?

The source code of my app is available here

AppImage has bug for icon. You need to set it in your main window.

  const options = {
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    width: 1200,
    height: 800,
    webPreferences: {
      nativeWindowOpen: true,
      nodeIntegration: true
    }
  }

  if (process.platform === "linux") {
    options.icon = path.join(`${__dirname}/icon/icon.png`);
  }

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow(options);
