What is a PWA Icon and Why Is a 'Maskable Icon' Necessary?

A PWA icon is the visual symbol of your web app when it's 'installed' to a user's home screen or desktop. Modern Android systems use 'Maskable Icons' to crop icons into various shapes. A maskable icon has a designated 'safe zone' around the logo, ensuring your brand stays visible across different device themes.
