An app made with AnyScreen C11, the icons appear normally in MS Edge, but not in Chrome using the desktop version. If I use Chrome on my phone, they appear normally. The curious thing is that they appeared normally until a few days ago. I’ve already deleted cookies and browsing data, reset the browser, but the app icons still don’t show up in Chrome. Has anyone else experienced this situation?
Image no MS Edge where show de icons
Image no GOOGLE Chrome where not show de icons
FWIW, on the newsgroup, they’re saying if you update again the browser again, it is starting to work again.
So, I already did that and it didn’t work, I even uninstalled the browser and downloaded the latest version again, and it still didn’t work.
I’m having the same issue. Have you found a solution yet?
Its displaying the image logo at the top of the screen.
What type of icon’s are these?, eg an icon file which stores a variety of icon size’s in? Color range?
Have you tried any other icons in its place?
Is there a link to the icon’s in the html source code? If there is, can you display the icon in a new tab on its own? eg http://169.254.207.72/APP/AUTIMO/MyIcon.ico on its own?
Hi - I originally made the post over in the AnyScreen newsgroup. The issue appears to be related to a release of Chromium to address a zero-day vulnerability. This impacted most browsers using Chromium as the base (Chrome and Edge included). Other browsers (FireFox for example) were not impacted.
ICO files are not being displayed, although other types of graphic files are fine. I reported this to Google. This did not appear to be limited to AnyScreen applications as we saw it elsewhere.
As of a few days ago there was an update to Edge (146.0.3856.72) which fixes this. I have not seen a fix for Chrome yet.
If you/your users must use Chrome as a browser then another option is to convert all your ICO files to PNG files. Updating the APP is the easy part - export to text (TXA), do a global search and replace (.ICO → .PNG) then recreate the application from the text file. Depending on how you are using the ICO files, that may be as easy as running a utility to convert them to PNG files - however, an ICO file may contain multiple sizes of the image (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, etc.) whereas the PNG file will be a single size, so you may need to create multiple PNG files for the same image and reference that size appropriately in the application.
Let me now if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Jim
This looks like the bug. Skia is Chrome’s 2D graphics library used to render web content and UI elements.
Do you know if google has blanket blocked all ico files, or just just ico files with multi icon images?
I cant find any more info on it, its all hidden behind logins and closed forums.
It appears to be all ico files - just tested with a single size image in an ico file.
I advised them to use MS Edge, as the icons work normally there, until Google fixes this problem. I even sent an email to Google reporting this situation and am waiting for them to release a fix.
These are standard icon files; the problem isn’t the file itself, but a bug in Chrome, since it appears normal in MS Edge. As many people are already complaining, I believe they should release an update in the next few days, since this isn’t a problem in AnyScreen. Until then, use MS Edge as your browser.
