Not able to replicate this myself but have had a couple of users report this. I have a Finder Sync Extension. It does not, at least intentionally, change any sidebar icons. The hosting app mostly uses asset catalogs and the icon file it specifies in its info.plist is a icns file, not an iconset.
Any idea what may be causing this? Seems odd to me that there isn't some explicit setting to enable this instead of requiring some set of configurations lining up.

Can you be more specific about what the user is actually seeing and the relationship between your extension the the icons being changed? Of the top of my head, if you're monitoring a hierarchy and the user places an directory inside your monitored hierarchy into the sidebar, then it's possible that might cause the sidebar icon to change? However, I'd really need to understand what you're monitoring and what they're placing in the sidebar.

I'm basically monitoring everything. The files I'm interested in can be located most anywhere so I'm watching every filesystem.
Most users aren't seeing this behavior so I'm trying to figure out why it's acting like this for the ones where it is happening. I don't think my bundle is set up to have any icons overridden.
To clarify, I realize I'm using things out of their recommended context, as mentioned in this thread here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756711?answerId=806555022#806555022

Alright. So what icon is it changing the object "to"? And is there any pattern to the directories that are changing?

User reports that it's being replaced with a generic document icon. They claim it's everything in the sidebar. I'll see if they can provide a screenshot.
Icons are the generic document icon (page with bent corner).
User says that after a Finder restart, all the icons are ok except for one (which one seems to change) which changes after a few seconds. Dragging a file over any of the icons changes them to a generic icon as well.
