App icon is not changing in Xamarin forms

Question

I have a PNG icon file named icon.png and I want to use it as my Xamarin.Form app's icon. So here's what I've done -

• Changed Application Icon from Android Options
• Changed Icon = "@mipmap/icon" in MainActivity.cs file

Still it was showing the default Xamarin logo icon. Then I did the followings -

• Changed <foreground android:drawable="@mipmap/icon" /> in icon.xml file
• Changed <foreground android:drawable="@mipmap/icon" /> in icon_round.xml file

Now the default android icon is showing but not my icon. What to do? Please help.

I tried matching all the icons dimension to the default icons dimension, also tried the followings - 36px for idpi, 48px for mdpi, 72px for hdpi, 96px for xhdpi, 144px for xxhdpi

I also tried restarting VS, rebuilding the entire solution, clearing cache and temp files.
