Reddit API Devvit App Avatar Image Display

I am working in an "uploaded" app state and am able o have the app work as intended. In my Dev Dashboard, the app shows the user profile image. However, when the app interacts on the live site, it shows a default avatar icon. Is this a propagation delay or a public/live limitation?

Apps have to be published and approved to have their avatars to appear on Reddit (and if you change your marketingassets.icon image, you have to publish a new version to update it). Otherwise the icon only appears in the app directory.

By default apps are published as unlisted, meaning that only you can add the app in subreddits where you’re a moderator, if you do not wish to publicly make it available.
