Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[ ] 1.x
[x] 2.x

Current behavior:
After creating my icons using ionic resource --splash and ionic resource --icon the cli generates the pictures for splash and icons. As described in this very old bug [https://github.com//issues/1855], where I also add a comment, the pictures are only created for android and not for ios.

The other thing is, what's about the favicon for the browser? Have a look in the config.xml after creating pictures with cli, I see this new entry
<icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xhdpi-icon.png"/>
I think this should be the pictures which will be used instead of the favicon, but this does not work.

Expected behavior:

1. Please close the CLI bug for creating also the IOS pictures.
2. If the pictures from android resource configured as icon in config.xml should be the favicon for browser, it does not work. If this should be the picture for PWA icons, I think the created pictures for browser and PWA could and should be the same.
3. If I misunderstand anything, this should also be a feature request :) Please create also favicon on creating resource

The issues for ios creation has been resolved in CLI v3 beta. The favicon for web is something that we plan on adding in the future but it will likely be closer tied to our pwa/web plugins instead of cordova. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Ok, I think favicon for web is something nice to have and it does not cost a lot.
btw when do release the next cli3 beta which close this bug #1973 we are still waiting for the bug fix to test your new cli :)
Tomorrow was three days ago :) JOKE

Today it will be released. 😄 I think the favicon is something we all want just trying to identify the right way to integrate it.
