If you project is created using Ionic then do the following :-

• Create the folder name "resources" in your projects root directory.
• Place your icon file name as "icon.png" in the resouces folder.
• Icons should be 192x192 px without rounded corners.
• Place your splash file name as "splash.png" in the resources folder.
• Splashscreens should be 2208x2208 px, with the image centered in the middle.

After doing the above open you cli , go to the root of your project and enter

ionic cordova resources 

your icon and splash will be generated and config file also will be updated.

If you have created this project using cordova/phonegap :-

• you can either remove the icon tag you specified in your config.xml completely

or

• create the icon and place it in "www/res/icon.png".
• Update the path in config.xml

remove all the icon path and just add this line to your config.xml

<icon src="www/res/icon.png"/>
