				on_release:root.Show_Devlopers_Info()
				

as per above code...I want to remove icon from status bar....I can not even found anything in documentation of Kivy...Anyone has some Idea?

Answer 1

It looks like disabling an icon is impossible.
Reference: Kivy sources @ github (https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/856b305c0c876e53e802f1ac9ae16c21fa91ac1e/kivy/uix/actionbar.py#L214).
Relevant part:

if not self.app_icon:
        self.app_icon = 'data/logo/kivy-icon-32.png'

You may try to circumvent this by using a small completely transparent image as an icon.

Also, you can try to reduce the size of an icon to 0. Have a look at properties app_icon_width and app_icon_height: https://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.actionbar.html#kivy.uix.actionbar.ActionPrevious.app_icon_height
