I'm developing an iOS Extension (Audio Unit Extension) and I had provided a temporary icon set for it in the default asset catalog. However, I now can't change the old icon for a new final icon anymore.

Providing/replacing all icon files in the AppIcon asset catalog changes only the icons of the app containing the extension, but not the icon of the extension itself. All Audio Unit hosts keep displaying the old icon.

I've cleaned the project and product folder, rebuilt in every way; removed asset catalogs, etc. no dice. Anyone know of a solution?

XCode 7.3, iOS 9.3.4

Instead of just a simple 'clean', use Xcode's Product menu with the option key pressed and choose 'clean build folder'.

I know that this is an old thread and all, but I am wondering what is required to set in the plist to get a custom app extension icon? All my attempts have just resulted in the host icon being shown in an AUv3 host.
