Icon not showing in firefox add-on manager

I have a new Firefox add-on with the following directory structure:

/
   package.json
   data/
       icons/
           icon48.png

In my package.json file I have this:

 "icon": "data/icons/icon48.png",

(among other things). When I run jpm run as recommended by the Firefox add-on docs, the extension loads but the icon is not visible in the add-on manager. Any idea what I'm missing? I have been referencing this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tools/package_json#icon, but no luck.

Thanks!

Apparently this is a bug. See this issue in the jpm repository.

For me, moving the icon image to the root directory (i.e. the same path as package.json) and renaming it "icon.png" fixed the problem.

I still have this bug with jpm 1.0.6 version. I solved it adding the next icon path:

{

  "id": "jid1-AKuBexDY5zJsIQ@jetpack",
  "icon": "resource://jid1-akubexdy5zjsiq-at-jetpack/data/images/icon48.png",

}

Note that the "path" is similar to the "id" field but there are not capital letters
