Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1107

🐞 Describe the bug
Is the Icon option in headers meant to fill the green icon on the left?

💻 Components impacted

IOS app

💡 Screenshots and/or logs
Currently, I have the link for the square image set to icon_img
icon_img = "https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/24939293/square.jpg"

requests.post(f"https://ntfy.sh/{ntfy_id}",
			data="This is a test",
			headers = {
				"Title": "New Notification!",
				"Icon":icon_img})

But the green icon doesn't appear to be set by Icon

From what I gather, it's not supported.

That's alright, what is the purpose of the icon variable then?

Plans, yes. But no estimated timeline. We don't have any iOS devs to work on the app right now. If you know anyone willing to help out, send them our way!

I spent a few days looking into this in my free time, which involved starting from no xcode or swift experience.

Unfortunately, actually getting results from this will require a paid development account to work with remote push notifications, as that is the only method where custom icons appear to be supported (in contrast to custom attachments, which is supported via local notifications)

Thanks for looking into it and trying to help out! Apple's paid developer accounts are certainly a barrier to getting changes added to the iOS app

Upload icons locally is a good way to go. Another push app on iOS called Bark does this for custom notification sounds.
