Following a tutorial, I’m building my first custom activity in Visual Studio. In the metadata, I put the IconKey like so:

The image displays a JSON configuration file in Visual Studio Code, defining a calculator activity with properties such as full name, short name, display name key, description key, category key, icon key, and view model type. (Captioned by AI)

My icon file is an .ico file and you can see it’s in the Icon folder:

The image shows a screenshot of the Visual Studio Solution Explorer with the folder structure of the "Tutorial.Calculator.Activities" project, highlighting the "Icons" subfolder containing "logo-icon.ico" and "ActivitiesMetadata.json" files. (Captioned by AI)

But when I build and import it into my Studio process, it doesn’t work.

@Terry_Marr,

Check out this if not tried already.

I think the Activity Creator is deprecated. We’re supposed to use SDK now.

The image explains that the UiPath Activity Creator is deprecated and recommends using .NET 6 and the latest UiPath SDK for developing new custom activities, along with reasons for and alternatives to this deprecation. (Captioned by AI)
