Why isn't my iOS8 Application Action Extension App Icon showing up?

My app icon is just a grey super ellipse even though I have specified a icon asset catalog in my Targets App Icons and Launch Images.

The following worked for me creating a Share Extension, but I believe Action Extension will do the same. Note that in the case of an Action extension, you need a monochromatic version.

If you are using an asset catalog for your main application icon, you should be able to get the Extension to leverage that same asset catalog. The key for me was to:

  1. Select my extension and tell it to use Asset Catalog. Select the same catalog your main icon is using. The default should be AppIcon enter image description here

  2. Select the image.xcassets file in XCode Project Navigator

  3. Check my extension so that it is included in the Target Membership
