Fix GET /apple-touch-icon.png 404
After successfully publishing my first Blazor app, I started getting a bunch of 404 errors on my application insights dashboard.
What are these errors? Why? What does this mean?
Well, it turns out, Apple devices make those requests assuming your apple-device-optimized website will contain these files. These files are used by the device when the users bookmark your site to their home screen. If you don’t provide these files, your site icon will be an ugly screenshot of your site.
Ok, how do I fix it?
It’s a simple fix, just upload a single 180x180px PNG image to your website root and declare it in the head of your site.

That’s it! Say goodbye to those 404 errors.
