The command that doesn't work is:

/root/countr-desktop-next/node_modules/app-builder-bin/linux/arm64/app-builder snap --app /root/countr-desktop-next/release/linux-arm64-unpacked --stage /root/countr-desktop-next/release/__snap-arm64 --arch arm64 --output /root/countr-desktop-next/release/countr-desktop_4.0.1_arm64.snap --executable countr-desktop --icon /root/countr-desktop-next/release/.icon-set/icon_256.png --extraAppArgs=--no-sandbox

And I can confirm the icon icon_256.png is there, tried with different images and formats but the same problem sadly.
