I wasn't able to reproduce that but I was including 2 icons in the PWA manifest file. One of the icons was a 64x64 PNG which is probably the low quality one you are seeing, so I removed that.
I don't know why your device would choose the PNG over the SVG so if you feel like trying the edge docker image it would be curious to see if your device uses the SVG when it's the only one available.

I used the edge image, erased the old PWA icon and tried re-adding it but I only got this "A" generic icon. I went back to the latest image and also added the PWA app back and took a side by side image. (This is on an iPhone 15 Pro Max).

Thanks for testing. iOS doesn't support SVG yet I guess. I added back in a PNG icon that is higher quality. Let me know how that goes if you update the edge container again.

That worked, thanks. Here is the old and new icon side by side:

Using the edge release, icon resolution much improved on PWA. However, and this is nitpicky, I don't love the black ring around the edge. Can the PWA be made to use the same icon as the iOS app? Screenshot for reference.

@sevenlayercookie I agree with you. I use a black background so I did not notice this. I replaced the PWA icon with the one from the app.
