You cannot upload a custom image to use as an app icon in PowerApps, however, there are ways to work around this. You can use one of the icons provided by PowerApps Studio for Windows and customize the background. Or you can use PowerApps Studio for web to upload a custom image.

If an app you have created suddenly stops working without warning, it may be because you have not updated or re-published it in the last six months.
