Problem

generateAdaptiveIconForeground() and generateAdaptiveIconBackground() filter AndroidAssetTemplates on AssetKind.Icon:

const icons = Object.values(AndroidAssetTemplates).filter(
  (a) => a.kind === AssetKind.Icon,
) as AndroidOutputAssetTemplateAdaptiveIcon[];

That yields the legacy launcher sizes rather than the adaptive-icon sizes:

density	emitted (Icon)	expected (AdaptiveIcon)
ldpi	36	81
mdpi	48	108
hdpi	72	162
xhdpi	96	216
xxhdpi	144	324
xxxhdpi	192	432

Every adaptive layer is written 0.444x (48/108) too small.

It goes unnoticed because two passes write the same paths. When icon-foreground.png / icon-background.png are supplied as standalone sources, generateFromLogo() first emits correct adaptive-icon-sized layers, then these two handlers overwrite them at legacy sizes:

CREATE android adaptive-icon .../mipmap-xxxhdpi/ic_launcher_foreground.png (10.12 KB)
CREATE android icon         .../mipmap-ldpi/ic_launcher_foreground.png (816 B)

Android then upscales the layers 2.25x to fill the 108dp adaptive layer, so the launcher icon renders visibly blurry on device.

The as AndroidOutputAssetTemplateAdaptiveIcon[] cast on the same expression suppressed the type error that would otherwise have flagged this.

Fix

Filter on AssetKind.AdaptiveIcon in both handlers. generateLegacyIcon() keeps AssetKind.Icon, which is correct for the pre-API-26 ic_launcher assets.

Output paths and filenames are unchanged — the two template sets share the same density keys and differ only in width/height.

Reproducing

Place icon-foreground.png and icon-background.png (1024x1024) in assets/, run capacitor-assets generate --android, then check the layer dimensions:

file android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi/ic_launcher_foreground.png
# before: 192 x 192
# after:  432 x 432

Verification

• npm run build — passes
• npm test — 7 suites, 17 passed / 1 skipped
• npm run lint — passes (the 12 no-non-null-assertion warnings are pre-existing in src/platforms/ios/index.ts)
• Applied as a local patch on 3.0.5 in a real app: adaptive layers now 81-432px, legacy ic_launcher still 36-192px, mipmap-anydpi-v26/*.xml unchanged, :app:assembleDebug passes, blur gone.
