What does desktop_Icon mean?

Question

I've submitted an app to the software store but it gets sent back with this error:-

desktop_Icon

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

In the .desktop file entry, there’s the line which starts with “Icon=”. This part is especially important as it will show the icon of your app, which will distinguish it from other entries.

When providing the icon file name, make sure you:

Use no absolute paths (ie. /usr/share/icons/…)
Use an icon which you actually ship in your app
Specify the 'Icon=' key in the .desktop file
Put the icon in the root of your project (i.e. Icon=./icon.png)
