Android You cannot change the game icon for Android :(

Hello, I have created a game for Android, actually, I finished it, and wanted to publish it. Unfortunately, it seems that in gms2.3 you cannot change the icon, and you have to publish it with the default one. If you try to use a png file, it will throw the error: "The image selected has transparency. Please select a different image." On the other hand, if you try to use jpg or ico file, the error won't pop up immediately, but the game will not build. Maybe you guys found a way to do that. If I knew it beforehand, I would select a different platform, probably Windows instead of Android. The default icon looks pretty, but it doesn't look professional to use the icon of the engine for your game.

I have the same problem right now, I tried using a png image without transparency and didnt work, I even used a totally black solid image and still says the same about transparency is there anyway to fix this?
