Hi, I am the developer of the Link2Home Homey app. Today, I got a message that the app was rejected because the icons weren’t recognizable. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/0/b0e3f1a4fde766783220107be5ffc2e5d8129a42.png) However, I don’t really understand why. The icon was copied from the Link2Home website also, so it is the actual brand logo. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/5/c568bdfa2826682583c572c1441d45f99dcff60d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/87147a8af3d1b2337bc283b569b121504f50732f.png) Which other icon should I use for this app? Should I just use the smart plug’s driver icon instead? I don’t understand why the current icon was rejected. ---

Strange indeed. And how does your icon differ from e.g. the following one, which also has a white fill? 🤔 ![IMG_2776](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6faf9fa586c9e17f9fcb02fdaedc6aa89ed0d794.jpeg) ---

I can just tell - try also “homey app review” … 😉 > > > Introduces a new CLI command that runs an AI review of a Homey app against the A…pp Store guidelines, helping developers catch issues before submission. > > Supports both new and update submission types, configurable AI providers (OpenAI and Anthropic), and outputs results as either human-readable terminal output or machine-readable JSON. Collects app manifest, images, and optional custom instructions to provide comprehensive feedback with severity-based findings and a final verdict. > > \- \[\] Update homey-lib when released (see https://github.com/athombv/node-homey-lib/pull/714) > > P.S. The unit tests fail because homey-lib has not been updated yet I wonder if it’s not AI error during automated review, or after all, maybe human/real reviewer, did mistake ---

It might mean that there’s a _technical_ issue with the icon. For instance, when it has a background color instead of a transparent background. ---

Easiest fix: Create an issue here with your sample image and have Athom create the svg file for you. > **[Issues · athombv/homey-vectors-public](https://github.com/athombv/homey-vectors-public/issues)** > > Developers can request vector icons for an Homey App here - Issues · athombv/homey-vectors-public ---
