Did Apple remove the option to remove JUST cache from Safari? Currently the only option is to remove cookies and cache or all history.

I'm currently adding iCloud support for my app, but i noticed that in the iCloud -> manage storage settings my app's icon is missing. I've added the Icon-Small.png/Icon-Small-50.png plus their #2x versions in the xcode project in the "Resources" folder, then added their names in Info.plist but it still shows white.
What am i doing wrong?
Once you show up in Settings, a little like registering your device for push notifications, there's some caching happening. You should try resetting all settings and installing fresh. Also if it's a physical device, not the simulator, try to delete the app, set the date forward by over a day, install fresh, and it should bypass that cache.
Did you build the app, compile it, and added the icon very later on? This is usually a caché issue. The best way to go around this is to uninstall the app from your device and do a clean build.
As iOS 5.0 guidelines require to store downloadable content in "Library/Caches" directory instead of "Documents", I wonder if it's possible for end-user (or QA team) to delete manually these caches on IPad (to check the application's behavior when Caches are absent)?
Or can I only purge Caches programmatically?
I'm prepping for my first update (1.0.1) on the AppStore and will be changing the icon in the process. I deleted the old 57x57 and 114x114 icons, dropped new ones into Xcode 4's target summary, and did a clean build/run. The new icons show up in Xcode, but not on the device's home screen.
I suspect if I delete the app and redo the above steps, this may work, but that leaves me to wonder if an AppStore distribution will update the icons for all users.
Is there something I'm forgetting to do to update the icon for this next release?
I was having this problem when replacing icons for an app, the new icons didn't show up on the iOS device, no matter how many times I did a clean/build. The solution for me was to reboot the device and the new icons were recognized.
I'm guessing this is a problem only in development, it is likely that the cached icon is refreshed when an app is installed or updated from the App Store.
The answer turned out to be that my new icons had slightly different names than the old. Strangely, Xcode never complained and still showed them next to the target and in the summary.
Lesson learned: When doing an app update (or "Appdate"), modified resources need to be of the same file name to be found. It seems replacing a resource with a different resource is not sufficient. Overwriting the old resource is the way to go.
It will update the icon for the user's when it's distributed. I had an app i released to the app store that I had gotten from Google Images and made into an icon. Long story short, I had to change my icon so it didn't look like another App's which had the same icon! If you change it in your Build Settings you'll be ok.
If you change your apple-touch-icon.png for both regular and retina in your Build Settings, it will update on the app store, and the end user's ultimately. Bottom line. It should've did it for yours, I don't know why it didn't?
I have an app that does not currently use a Setting.bundle to display setting in the iPhone Settings app.
I am releasing an update that does.
On a fresh install, the settings are added to the Setting App as expected, but upon updating from the old install, the bundle is not added.
Is there some sort of trick to get the Settings App to show my Settings.bundle?
It turns out a full clean did the trick. I think the bundle gets cached somehow and even on changes, Xcode doesn't recognize it changed sometimes.
I'm building an iphone app, and I wanna use the iPhone's built in Preferences stuff. It looks like I put options in there, but I'm interested in putting a Reset button in the Prefs. I see that Apple's built-in apps like Safari have buttons in their prefs (Clear History, Clear Cookies, etc). I don't see a way to do this for SDK apps. Help!
Your Settings bundle cannot contain any runnable code, so it's not possible to have buttons like safari (Clear History, Clear Cookies, etc).
Safari is a builtin application provided by Apple, therefore it has access to apis/privileges that normal AppStore applications don't.
You can see the list of possible elements here.
One thing you can do, since you can set your own app's preferences during runtime, is create a "Reset preferences on next run" toggle.
When your app starts up, check for this setting and act accordingly if it is set to "On". Don't forget to reset the toggle as well. ;-)
Here's a Q&A that explains how to do this: How to change the app preference settings through code?
