Hi Jake, That should be the first option on the left of the screen in your apps control panel. Right at the top of the list it should say 'Upload the App's Icon'.

The Upload the App's Icon section will set the Android Home Screen Icon?

I mean the icon that the user sees that they tap in order to start running the app.

Yes, that will set the icon that is used to launch your app.

But when I run it, it just has a black square as the icon.

If there aren't any errors when uploading the icon then it should work. Try re-uploading the icon and re-downloading your project.

Do you have any clue as to why your icon wasn't created by buzztouch? Seems to be a recurring problem for a few. Fred

Could it be because Android 1.5 is still in beta?

No, I don't think so. (Possible but I doubt it.) Most likely user error, but I'd like to know what the error was. Ice Cream Sandwich's post help in having a simple fix to the problem, but it would be nice to eliminate the problem. Did the icon showup in buzztouch before you downloaded the source code?
