bruno Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I managed to fix the issue using the method described here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716 Link to comment
rahult Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 So I have two machines both upgraded from High Sierra to Mojave Both machines are used regularly and have been turned off and restart a few times with plenty of login and logouts. One machine is showing icons normally, one is not. I have even tried to re-index using spotlight still no luck. Alfred was installed normally (not using brew) Link to comment

However, it took good 10 to 15 mins before the icons showed up and I had to clear Alfred's application cache as well. Thanks @bruno Link to comment
szymon_k Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It didn't help for me though, I've rebuild spotlight twice already, both times giving it over a day to test, but still no app icons in alfred. How can I help debug? Link to comment
Vero Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 @szymon_k Could you please send the following database file to our info@ email address so that we can take a look at what it contains? ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Databases/filecache.alfdb We'd like to take a look and see if it might provide some insight into this issue. Cheers, Vero Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks to @szymon_k's information via email, it highlighted something I'd missed from the metadata output posted on the previous page. The kMDItemContentType for applications missing their icons was "com.apple.application-file" and not the correct "com.apple.application-bundle". The UTI defines that "com.apple.application-file" is for an Application file (traditionally older single-file carbon based apps), and not modern Application Bundles (multi file packages as you'd see for all modern applications). This is undoubtedly a bug hiding somewhere in Mojave, and something which seems to resolve itself over time. All is not lost though... I've just put 3.7.1 b944 pre-release which works around this Mojave bug, so the icons will be shown and the apps will be cached by Alfred! You can update to the latest pre-release in Alfred's Update preferences. Cheers, Andrew szymon_k, clepore and rrashkov 3 Link to comment
clepore Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It worked like a charm 👍 Link to comment
rrashkov Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Awesome, the 3.7.1 b944 pre-release fixed the missing icons issue for me as well 🎉 Link to comment
