title: How to get the launcher icon to display as a circle with React Native/Expo
body: <p>How do I get my icon to appear as a circle on Android? I am using React Native and Expo.</p>
  <p>No matter what I try it's always a square:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3o1DD.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3o1DD.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>In my app.json I have this set:</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;expo&quot;: {
          
          &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;./assets/logo_1024_1024.png&quot;,
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is there something else I should be doing?</p>
  <p>I know the <a href="https://docs.expo.dev/guides/app-icons/?redirected" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs</a> says you can set the icons per OS, and that android requires images to be provided at multiple resolutions, and that:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>The Android Adaptive Icon is formed from two separate layers -- a
  foreground image and a background color or image. This allows the OS
  to mask the icon into different shapes and also support visual
  effects.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>But I was assumeing expo took care of all of this for me?</p>
