AppIcon is the Unique identification of any App. Each app need a unique app identification, when we set app icon using CLI it reflects both platforms (iOS/Android), if we set appIcon manually then we need to set it separately in both platform we are going to use RN ToolBox through CLI, so here we learn “How to set AppIcon in react native Using CLI“.

Prepare a single icon file of 200*200px. If you donʼt have one ready just use the sample below.
