Windows support hasn't been a priority for the beta. It would be a useful feature sometime down the road.

Was reported already 1 year ago... Ionic officially supports windows so generating icons and splashscreens should be part of it #628

@zoinkydoink @digaus Just so we're clear, we're talking about the windows Cordova platform, not wp8, right?

@dwieeb
Yes

As a workaround, create the listed image files under the resources windows folder and add the following to config.xml:

    <platform name="windows">
        <icon src="resources/windows/storelogo.png" target="StoreLogo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/smalllogo.png" target="Square30x30Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Square44x44Logo.png" target="Square44x44Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Square70x70Logo.png" target="Square70x70Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Square71x71Logo.png" target="Square71x71Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Square150x150Logo.png" target="Square150x150Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Square310x310Logo.png" target="Square310x310Logo" />
        <icon src="resources/windows/Wide310x150Logo.png" target="Wide310x150Logo" />
        <splash src="resources/windows/splashscreen.png" target="SplashScreen" />
    </platform>

where storelogo.png is 50px by 50px, and smalllogo.png 30px by 30px.
and where splashscreen.png is 620px by 300px.

Why hasn't it implemented yet? Maybe I can contribute to this if I know why it's not done yet.

[imhoffd]

@VahidNaderi Just been focused on higher priority stuff. Lots on my plate. I would welcome a PR. Let me know if you need pointers in the right direction or help of any kind.

@dwieeb I created a fix but I have problem debugging it, can you provide me some guidance toward attaching a debugger and tracing cli code? I'm not that familiar with this environment.
