`appIcon` option does nothing

I haven't had a moment to check with Windows yet, but I've reached my wit's end trying to get electron-forge package to use the icon path I provided.

I've tried setting my forge config file packagerConfig:appIcon as an absolute path (with and without the .icns file extension in the path) a relative path from the directory electron-forge package is called from (with and without the .icns file extension in the path) and then tried doing both of those again instead with a .png (with and without the .png extension in the path).

The packaged app always has an electron.icns file in the Resources folder and the Info.plist CFBundleIconFile is always set to electron.icns

Does anyone have any ideas?!?! I am using "vanilla" packaging without webpack if that is relevant.

Perhaps because it's called icon and not appIcon? Or is that a typo in the issue?
