Answer 1

Make sure you got the "App Icon Source" pointing to the right AppIcon assets. You can find this option under "General" in your project target for your today extension.

If everything is right, you should be able to see the icon by removing the app widget from the "today" drop-down and adding it back in with the "Edit" button at the bottom of the drop-down

Answer 2

You have to make sure your icon target is set for both your app and widget. Go to Images.xcassets and add your widget to the 'Target Membership'

Answer 3

If you don't have the Settings/Spotlight icons in your assets file, it won't show. Its best practice to add them anyhow.
