Explanation:

I have a working app in google play market. Everything works fine in android versions from 4.0-7.0.

Case:

When the client downloaded it on his Android 8.0 (Oreo) a launcher icon did not seem to show instead android's default launcher icon is showing!!

Question:

Anyone who has encountered such issue? I need any hints to solve it since it seems weird because I have all 4 typed .png icons in mipmap folder.
