I am uploading my app to the app store for the first time. I am new at uploading to the app store, too. I noticed that we have to upload a 1024 x 1024 pixels app icon for app store purpose in iTunes Connect. I didn't know about this. I have a 114 x 114 app icon and resized it to 1024 x 1024. After resizing it to this extent it became blurred.
But if I try to upload the same blurred app icon in iTunes Connect, it is accepted and it is looking reasonably good in iTunes Connect. But I don't know how it looks in the app store after submission.
Does Apple reject because of this blurred app icon in iTunes Connect? As the icon is looking good in iTunes Connect, will it look the same in the app store too?
Yes, you can proceed. It will definitely work.

I've got an app in App Store for a while.
Recently I've noticed that by default iPad preview images are displayed when I visit App Store with browser.
I would like to make the default to be the iPhone look, because first of all my app is an "iPhone app".
Is there a configuration in Xcode project or App Store Connect were I can set/force iPhone to be the default ?

The screenshot of the problem
P.S. I've been rubbing my butt against this issue already half a day, cannot find any solution.
Has anybody communicated on this with App Store customer support ?
After lengthy discussions with App Store Connect support, finally the problem is resolved
The “Designed for …” badge appears automatically
for iPhone and iPad apps that are made available for Apple silicon Macs.
With that option iPad screenshots will be displayed automatically when navigating to products URL with web-browser.
If you have selected “App Silicon Mac Availability” in the Pricing and Availability section of App Store Connect.
Uncheck it and check the product page URL after 24 hours have passed.
I am preparing to submit my application to the Apple App Store and have been researching the requirements for the App Icon. I have filled in all of the allotted slots shown in this picture from Apple's website
However the docs say that a 1024x1024 icon is required for the App Store and I do not see any "slot" for that image in my Xcode project. Where and how do I add that required 1024 x 1024 app icon?
Make a 1024x1024 icon and name it "iTunesArtwork#2x.png" add to assets catalogue.
You can use makeappicon to generate an .xcassets catalogue... makes life easier
(I'm not affiliated with the above)
You will need to log in to Itunes Connect and then go to my apps and scroll down a bit to General App Information.
Using the Asset Catalog as pictured in your example there is no 1024 icon. Normally, for OS X apps the 512pt 2x is the 1024 x 1024 icon. On iOS Apps you must upload a 1024 x 1024 image to iTunes Connect separately from your Asset Catalog that has no transparency. On OSx apps it takes the image from your binary bundle that you uploaded.
I just got my iPhone game up in the app store, but I don't like the gloss effect on the large icon in the app store. I have two questions:
1.) Is it possible to change your large icon without resubmitting a binary? In iTunes Connect there is no upload files button under the large icon like there is for your screen shoots.
2.) How do I remove the gloss effect on the large icon? I have "Icon already includes gloss effects" already set to yes in my info.plist, this fixed the installed icon but not the large icon.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to look at the icon:

1) No, you can't! You need to resubmit the app.
2) You have changed correct preference. After resubmission it will take effect also in the App Store.
No you cannot change the size of icon. iPhone Application icon size is specified in Apple Developer Document
Question 1. has already been answered, sadly it's no.
Question 2 is probably due to a bug on Apple's side, so if I were you I would ask them using the contact form in iTunes Connect. I did this for a similar bug that occurred in the past and it was eventually fixed by Apple without requiring re-uploading apps, see "Prerendered Icon Flag: true" in submitted iPhone app binary details, but icon shown with glossy effect in store
I wanted to change the app icon (512 x 512 pixels) thru iTunes Connect.
But when I do "Edit" it does not allow me to change the icon.
So, do we have to create new version of the app in iTunes and submit it to Apple for Review?
If not, what is the way to change the AppStore icon?
I appreciate your help.
Yes. The application icon is part of the bundle, and must be redeployed as an update.
my icon was blur when show on the itunes Store but fine in iphone's locally appstore,my large icon format is:
pixel:512X512
format:png
dpi:72
can anybody point to me what is the reason of icon getting blur in itunes store since i have followed all the spec required by apple alr
Your 512x512 icon should be a jpeg though I can't imagine it being uploaded as iTunes Connect rejects other formats.
Resubmitting is an option.
I found this same problem today. Reading the specs closer I realized they ask for at least a 24 bit .png file. I had uploaded a 8 bit .png file to iTunes Connect. I'm resubmitting today to test but I think this was my problem.
