My app icon is not showing on some devices

Question

I just published my app on play store and I notice that some Samsung device does not display the icon of my app. They assert the default icon of android studio. Have you an idea what can cause that? i'm confused

<application 
android:name=".MyApp"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" 
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:label="@string/app_name" 
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
 .... 
</application>

Answer 5

This happened to me when I noticed my mipmap folder is missing but if I search the icons in the project they are there. So I created a mipmap folder manually New > Android resource directory > Mipmap. Then I generated the image asset for the icons again.
