Placeholder icon for now, will likely want to use something else. Possibly something like https://www.shadcn.io/icon/mdi-cellphone-arrow-down-variant

These are needed to add support for rich PWA install flow: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/richer-pwa-installation
These are placeholders for now, will need proper examples if ya'll want to support this rich UI
