I have an app, and during development I used an ogg image to indentify the app.
Then, when the app was finished I gave it its own ogg image. I noticed that the app icon remained the old one.
Ok, cached, so used the FB linter. Linter showed correct image. Problems over I guessed.
Did a test post on my own time line, new image shows up. Hurray.
But, surprise surprise, if someone else posts the app, the old image appears. WFT?!
Ok, changed all images, of all my apps, put the all through the linter, the apps.facebook.com url, and the url of the app itself.
All show the correct image on the linter....
Now it must be ok, I thought.
But, suprise surprise a few days later someone posts a link to the app, et voila, the old image appears again..... $%&^#^$####
What more can I do?
HELP! , thanks
My guess is that this is a caching problem. Try with a new anonymous chrome window (or empty your cache in another way) to see if that helps.
Ooops, programmers error....
The App icon changed all alright, but I forgot to adjust the image when a wallpost was made from the App....
Shame, red head., sorry.. :(
Forget it !

For most images jQuery-File-Upload is displaying a preview image. However, for some large images (14MB) no preview is being displayed. Why is this happening and is there anyway to fix this? Unfortunately I am not seeing any errors on my web dev console when this happens so I have no idea how to debug this issue.
Here is a link to an example image that will not display a preview for me.
This helps me in same situation:
in file
jquery.fileupload-image.js
change parameter
loadImageMaxFileSize: 40000000 /40MB
I can't seem to find the right location of the settings since facebook redesigned admin panel ... screenshots appreciated , I can only change screenshots and banners but not the app icon itself
thanks
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[your-app-id]/app-details/ -> "logo" is the way to go. If you uploaded a logo a while ago, it may look like the option to change it is not available, because your old logo isn't showing up (it's just a standard facebook image). That's because your old logo is probably too small. Upload a new logo, and your logo will change.
Info: It's not necessary to submit your app for approval first.
Update: Since "logo" is no longer listed as an option, I assume they have changed the setup form slightly...

Under the section: "Icons"...
Heres the docs
Scroll to the next section to see something which might be of interest too:

NOTE: You may have to do some image editing before uploading to meet the dimension restrictions they have in place (at the time of this post: 1024 x 1024 and size <= 5MB).
This code is processed as goku image on FB chat:

How FB creates image from this? I found the code on symbols-n-emoticons in comments below, copied&pasted into FB chat and - black magic - the image was there.
So I took your example and did some testing. If yout right click on the image in chat and look at it URL, you can find following:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227547_236823636443937_1841629131_n.jpg
It's one tile from the goku image. The middle part of the URL corresponds to one value in you code. So this code are actually shortcuts to images stored on FB servers, and the chat window simply replaces the code with image.
I think it could be due to latest update in FB, which allows you to attach images directly to posts.
[EDIT]
I have tried several other images and it worked for all images hosted akamaihd.net aka Facebook hosting. Just grab the secod number and past it in chat in double brackets.
The image is always resized to 16x16px, hence the code for Goku is so long, it's actually made from tiles.
I have an application that is currently named "xxxx". The app runs and works perfectly without any problems. However, I have reached a stumbling point. When I try to load the application onto my iPhone, the pictures on my picker view seemed to have disappeared for some strange reason. I've done multiple hours of debugging and everything checks out normal. I then decided I wanted to change the product name from "xxxx" to "xxxx Redo". As soon as I did that, the application loaded perfectly normal (with the pictures in the Picker View as it should be).
In conclusion, it comes to find out that there is no actual bug in the programming aspect of it. However, my question comes up as to why does it not load the correct way with the original product name but then loads the right way when the product name is changed?
The second part of my question is if anyone knows of a way to fix the original application so that way it displays correctly again with the original name?
I have tried the following:
Cleaning the app
Trashing the .app file and rebuilding
Deleting the app on the iPhone and rebuilding.
These things sometimes just happen, you can try the following extra steps:
clean build folder in XCode (press alt while clicking Product menu)
reboot the phone (poweroff/poweron)
I have seen cases where it made a difference.
i am quite new to iphone development but i have been given a old application and told to change the launch image(default.png)..i tried to google it but couldn't get much help from it??
how can i change the default image in my old application?? any information regarding it will be really helpful??
The term is splash screen and I'm sure that's why you weren't seeing any good search results. Here is a good link:
http://adeem.me/blog/2009/06/22/creating-splash-screen-tutorial-for-iphone/
You can't change it programmatically. You can make a new one and just replace Default.png file with it.
