If this image is your add-in's representative icon, see Create effective listings in AppSource and within Office for size and other requirements.

Additional requirements for mobile form factors

When the parent <Icon> element is a descendant of a MobileFormFactor element, the minimum required sizes are slightly different. The manifest must minimally provide 25, 32, and 48 pixel sizes. Each size provided must appear three times, with a scale attribute set to 1, 2, or 3. This attribute specifies the UIScreen.scale property for iOS devices. For more information, see scale.
