Adaptive Icons for Android app
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Android Oreo adds support for the phone launcher to specify an icon shape (square, rounded square, squircle, circle, teardrop); however, none of the Wikimedia Foundation apps (Wikipedia, Wikipedia Beta, Commons, or Wiktionary) support the feature.
