Windows Phone 8 tile doesn't show correct image

Question

Does anyone know why my Win Phone 8 app tile doesn't show the icon I set? This is what I get (and yes, am am sure that's not my app's icon):

This is what I have so far and I ran out of ideas of what can be wrong:

• The small icon is a png of 110x110
• The medium icon is a png of 202x202
• Both images have the build Type = Content
• Both images have the copy to output property = Copy if newer
• The application icon is the same as the small icon and it shows alright in the program list.

Here is a part of my app's manifest:

 <TemplateIconic>
      <SmallImageURI IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">Assets\Icons\AppIcon_small.png</SmallImageURI>
      <Count>0</Count>
      <IconImageURI IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">Assets\Icons\AppIcon_medium.png</IconImageURI>
      <Title>
      </Title>
      <Message>
      </Message>
      <BackgroundColor>
      </BackgroundColor>
      <HasLarge>false</HasLarge>
      <LargeContent1>
      </LargeContent1>
      <LargeContent2>
      </LargeContent2>
      <LargeContent3>
      </LargeContent3>
      <DeviceLockImageURI IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">
      </DeviceLockImageURI>
    </TemplateIconic>

If you use TemplateIconic tile the images need to be transparent icons as outlined in Iconic Tile template for Windows Phone 8 because it is just going to end up being a white icon inside a tile. Your image appears as a white square because it does not have any transparency. With the images you have, you would want to use the TemplateFlip tiles and adjust the size of your tiles accordingly.
