Description
Tell us about the problem
Android 8 has the concept of adaptive icons, which is some crazy way of having app icons be either circles or squares based on OEM.
Currently the {N} CLI doesn’t appear to support this concept, as currently, if you just run tns resources generate icons with a solid-background-color icon, you end up with something like this.
This issue is a feature request for us to generate adaptive icons using tns resources generate icons.
