I would recommend your icon be placed in the root of your project in
which case you could reference it in the .desktop file thus:-

Icon=./icon.png

Alternatively you could put it with other assets in a subdirectory,
such as "images", and reference it thus:-

Icon=./images/icon.png

Do not put a full path in the icon variable because you cannot
guarantee (once installed) the path will exist on the device as clicks
apps are relocatable and confined.
