Solutions

Replace with PlayerSettings.WSA.GetVisualAssetsImage(WSAImageType.UWPSquare44x44Logo, WSAImageScale._150) — the 140% legacy scale maps closest to UWP _150.
Search for and migrate all phoneAppIcon140 references.
Update or replace plugin DLLs referencing the deprecated member.

Example fix

// before
string path = PlayerSettings.WSA.phoneAppIcon140;

// after
string path = PlayerSettings.WSA.GetVisualAssetsImage(WSAImageType.UWPSquare44x44Logo, WSAImageScale._150);

Defensive patterns

Strategy: type-guard

Validate before calling

// Use the new getter for app icon at ~140% scale
string path = PlayerSettings.WSA.GetVisualAssetsImage(WSAImageType.UWPSquare44x44Logo, WSAImageScale._150);

Type guard

static bool IsDeprecatedWsaProperty(string name) =>
    typeof(PlayerSettings.WSA)
        .GetProperty(name,
            System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static)
        ?.GetCustomAttribute<ObsoleteAttribute>()?.IsError == true;

Prevention

Map legacy 140% app icon scale to WSAImageScale._150.
Skip [Obsolete(IsError=true)] members during reflection-based property access.
Grep for 'phoneAppIcon140' after upgrades.

When it happens

Trigger: Reading PlayerSettings.WSA.phoneAppIcon140 (the getter) in editor tooling, build reports, or serialization paths. Compile-time for direct access; runtime via reflection.

Common situations: Porting a Windows Phone 8.1 app icon configuration to UWP; plugins that read multi-scale app icon paths; upgrading Unity with stale references in third-party code.
