Are you on Wayland or x11?

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

I have this issue as well on Wayland. It shows up named as __main__.py

In my case the name is correct, but the tray icon is still missing:

I had this issue on arch with KDE and fixed it by changing the icon file path in __main__.py

First I used ffmpeg to make a logo.png in out of resources/logo.svg, then changed
icon = QSystemTrayIcon(QIcon(u':icons/logo'), app)
to
icon = QSystemTrayIcon(QIcon(u'resources/logo.png'), app)

Maybe a better fix could be added to the source code? I'm not familiar enough with QT to do it but it seems like the problem is with using an svg file.

To add to the discussion, for whatever reason icon works fine if you start the program with venv set with the dev dependencies in requirement.txt

I can confirm that this approach works (at least on KDE Plasma).
@oskarsh @l0drex Would you consider adding this change to the main repo?

@oskarsh @l0drex I am also getting an "error while loading translations" could be resource reference related too

I'm having the same issue on KDE Plasma on Arch Linux. I installed the app from AUR. Simply add app.setApplicationName("Yin & Yang") and app.setApplicationDisplayName("Yin & Yang") solves it.

if QSystemTrayIcon.isSystemTrayAvailable():
        app.setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(False)

        // adding these two lines solves the problem
        app.setApplicationName("Yin & Yang")
        app.setApplicationDisplayName("Yin & Yang")

        icon = QSystemTrayIcon(QIcon(u'resources/icon.png'), app)
        icon.activated.connect(systray_icon_clicked)
        icon.setToolTip('Yin & Yang')

        menu = QMenu('Yin & Yang')
        menu.addAction(
            app.translate('systray', 'Open Yin Yang', 'Context menu action in the systray'),
            lambda: window.show())
....
