Description

This confuses users when they install an IPA from a source and it has an icon because the JSON has an icon for it, but it installs a blank / white one. Now with the "changeIcon" feature, you could use this to add the PNG from the JSON as the actual icon of the IPA if it's blank.

Research direction

Start in the Sources installation flow and trace the existing changeIcon feature, including how the JSON icon and the installed IPA icon are handled. Done means a blank IPA icon is replaced with the JSON PNG while an existing IPA icon remains unchanged; verify the behavior for both cases.
