Setting the app icon for Voyager seems to only apply to the icon shown for the app on the selected screen, but it does not for example apply to the icon shown for the running apps carousel.

Quit and restart the app. It should show the correct icon.
Also, try restarting the device
It does on mine. You may have to quit/restart the app?
Interesting; it’s consistently not working for me. I managed to change the app icon once, but subsequent attempts keep failing. The icon changes within the app’s settings screen, however, it does not change from the previous selection when I go into the app switcher or the launcher. Killing/restarting the app from the app switcher doesn’t help either.
EDIT: the symptoms above are happening on app store version 1.10.1. I’m about to update to 1.11.0 to see if it helps.
Ok, just updated to 1.11.0 (latest app store release at the time of writing) and it behaves exactly the same. The icon changed after updating, however, subsequent attempts to change it are ineffective as before, even if the app is swiped up from the task selector to “kill” it. It seems like swiping up doesn’t really kill the app, however, installing/reinstalling/updating from the app store does.
To test this, I’ll try offloading the app (delete app but not app data) and reinstalling to see if my hypothesis about updating/reinstalling is correct.
Mine is working as well
