i am trying to update my application using application loader. when i submit the archive file, i got this error
"icon specified in the info.plist not found under the top level app wrapper.icon57.png"!
i have deleted the icons from my project and tried again, but the error exist. is their any way to remove this error?
my info.plist displays these icons
This could help you, i think your filenames are wrong:
I usually put this image in my dashboard so you can fast access to the filenames.
+1 to Mat's answer, also please check out this thread that you may need, I had these errors even with the correct name, so this could be interesting:
Xcode Project Icon files and Organiser Archives artwork
Your app icon must be named as Icon.png which is of size 57*57.You have to rename the image and change that name in the info plist.App icon for retina display should be of size 114*114.And it should be named as Icon#2x.png.Rename ur this image and correct it in the info plist too.And ur splash screen should be named as Default.png
This is sometimes due to the compression that apple does during compiling. You should make sure the file type is correctly set to "Icon". Click on the icon in the project navigator and under "Identity and Type" you can set the File Type to "Icon"
My problem was I ended up with some empty keys in my plist file. I deleted all Icon plist entries, saved the plist, and then added the icons a second time through the Target Summary page.
I tried all of the steps detailed here, many of which have solved this problem previously.
The only way I could get this to work recently was to open the archive file (right click in the Organizer->Archives) and open the actual bundle that's going to be uploaded (show package contents for the archive and then the .app file inside the archive) and copy the icon files directly into there. Resubmitted the previously failed archive then solves the issue.

Trying to upload my app, the app sends fine but I get this error via email once the binary has been sent.
'Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent binary submission for "MyApp". Before your app can be reviewed, the following issues must be corrected:
Corrupt PNG File - The PNG icon file Icon#2x.png appears to be corrupt.
Once these issues have been corrected , go to the Version Details page and click Ready to Upload Binary. Continue through the submission process until the app status is Waiting for Upload and then use Application Loader to upload the corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team'
I've tried replaced the Icon#2x.png and re-submitted but I got the same email
This is a problem with Xcode 4.3.1. The solution is to disable PNG compression.
Project > target > Build Settings > Show All > first item under the Packaging header
I searched for "pack"
Toggle Compress PNG Files to NO
While you're at it, go dup rdar://11046386 and rdar://11035448 on Apple's Bug Reporter

I had the same error again and again, I couldn't upload my App because of a corrupted PNG.
I though it was because I failed to uncheck the transparency box when exporting the PNG in Photoshop (which you should/must do) but it appears that there was a layer in my Photoshop image that caused the problem and corrupted my file when exporting in PNG. If ever you think of "save as" and then specify PNG format in your Photoshop, it will not solve the problem either.
You must remake this buggy layer and export your image again. As Domsou said before you can use ImageOptim to verify that your new PNG is not corrupt... and optimize its size at the same time (Actually it does not check it but if the file is corrupted it won't be able to optimize it). I've done what I just said and now my App is waiting for review :) Good luck (hope your image does not have 30 layers...mine had 2)
Are you sure your image covers all the requirements?
It seems to be a problem in the info.plist file !!!!
When removing icons from the app, on record is keeping in place.
I removed it from those 2 nodes :
- Icon Files
- Icon files (IOS 5)
i don't know again if that worked but i didn't received mails for this moment...
This is what worked for me :
Click on those 4 images :
- the icon
- the icon#2x
- the default
- the default#2x
in the right window 'Identity and Type' select this File Type : 'Icon'
If you Build application for Archiving you'll probably see the warning saying you have mismatched icon settings.
I've got this error when i've submitted app using xCode 4.3 with deploy target set to iOS 3.0.
My app bundle had Icon.png and Icon#2x.png, after i've added new icons they were named Icon57.png & Icon114.png, old ones were not deleted automatically.
This is how i've solved this problem:
1) removed old Icon.png & Icon#2x.png from project;
2) new Icon57.png & Icon114.png renamed to Icon.png & Icon#2x.png
3) in *-info.plist i've corrected icon records from Icon57.png & Icon114.png to Icon.png & Icon#2x.png
4) Added CFBundleIconFile row with value Icon.png
That's it! =)
I had the same problem with an icon today. The icon was saved as an interlaced PNG. I re-saved it as non-interlaced, resubmitted and it wasn't rejected.
That works for me, too. Just change icon72.png and icon144.png file type to "Icon", then App Store accept the submission.
#Phatblat's solution will work, but it doesn't fix the root of the problem. The primary cause is probably that "Interlaced" was enabled when exporting the app icons from Photoshop. Disabling PNG compression will prevent the rejection, but it will often increase the size of your IPA. If you disable Interlacing and resave all of your icons in Photoshop, you can re-enable PNG compression and should be able to submit your app without issue.
This is what happened to me with my app Pillboxie, which as tons of images. I needed PNG compression to keep my file size low.
Some recent version of iOS caused my app icon to turn white. I've gone through everything in regards to images and can't find the issue. I'm running Xcode 3.2.5 with sdk 4.2. I do have an entry for "Icon files" in Info.plist with 5 keys:
Item 0 myapp.png
Item 1 myapp#2x.png
Item 2 myapp-72.png
Item 3 myapp-Small-50.png
Item 4 myapp-Small.png
Item 5 myapp-Small#2x.png
All the above have proper dimensions.
I see the image in 'Copy Bundle Resources' and also in the .app file for the simulator version. It is properly reference by name in 'Icon files', Item 0. It is not named Default.png since it is referenced by name in Item 0.
Any suggestions?
You just need those 3 Files:
Icon.png
Icon#2x.png
Icon-iPad.png
Put the names into the Info.plist under Icon Files.
EDIT: Clean your target if it still won't work!
That is what helped me (project summary - app icons are ok, iOS simulator - app icons are ok, iPhone device - blank icon).
Just reconnect your icons to project by dragging them from project navigator to App icon section in project summary.
When does it turn white? If you upgrade an app when it's running, sometimes it appears with a white icon in the "task" bar. This applies to apps you're developing and those download from iTunes. The fix is usually just to kill the app and restart.
That's the simplest answer, but I suspect might not be the solution.
Does the case of the file names in your Info.plist match the actual file names? The Simulator is not case sensitive but the iOS is.
You might also like to make a completely clean build. Don't just do a "Clean" in Xcode, instead manually clear out your build folder.
Finally, when the iPhone 4 first came out I had some issues with the order of the icons referenced in the Info.plist. I never saw white icons (usually just the non-Retina version) but this may be something worth playing with if nothing else works.
The icon file name may be too long if it is a custom file name. This is just a guess, and I hate guessing, but this appears to have been the problem I just had.
I have four targets using the same code but with different icons. I named the icons differently based on the app name, so I could store them in the same directory.
For example:
Icon.png
Icon_second.png
Icon_alternate.png
Icon_second_alternate.png (or Icon_secondalternate.png in case underscores were an issue)
This nomenclature was used for all of the icon names (there's 8 icon files to support iPhone, iPad, retina, etc).
The last one was giving me a problem. Despite a hundred clean/rebuilds, deleting the schema entirely and creating a new one, fruitless efforts, it suddenly occurred to me to try renaming it.
You should be able to name the icons differently, as I still use the first three versions. They are listed in the plist file and render in the project summary, and on the simulator, just fine. The last one rendered in the summary as well. However, I think the length of the file name was too long for the simulator. There must be a length limit. I renamed the fourth one to use the standard Icon.png naming but added it to the fourth target only (images are stored in a separate folder).
CONCLUSION: If you have more than one target for your app, use the standard naming system for all of your icons but add them to separate folders, and then when adding to Xcode just set the build target appropriately.
If you still have the default icon entry (even blank), this can happen, remove that entry in info.plist.
Also, Default.png would be your splash screen.
Load the icons into the Preview application, and make sure they are really png format (and not just named such) by doing a "Save As..." specifying PNG format in the save dialog. Do a Get Info to check the sizes. Make sure the case of all letters in the name match your plist entries.
I had the same problem recently - the Icons I was using were created in GIMP. When I opened them in Photoshop on the development Mac it complained about an ICC color profile. After re-saving the PNGs in Photoshop the Icons worked like a treat.
P.s. I just repeated my steps in creating the images in GIMP, but when saving unticked every extra option that GIMP - by default - was trying to add into the image when saving it. The icons worked perfectly this time around.
If you believe your icon configuration is correct, then you may simply be seeing a bug in Xcode.
As a workaround…
"Clean" your project. Choose Xcode > Product > Clean.
Delete the app from your simulator, or even reset the Simulator by choosing iOS Simulator > Reset Content and Settings.
Quit both the iOS Simulator and XCode apps, then restart them.
I am receiving the following error message:
2011-02-11 14:47:13.815 myProject[13177:207] Could not load the "icon-troubleshoot.png" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with identifier "com.myCompany.myProject"
This file is an old file that was being used before, but has now been deleted. As far as I know icon-troubleshoot.png is not used anywhere in my project. I tried cleaning and rebuilding, emptying caches but it didn't work. Searching for the string troubleshoot as a textual reference and "contains" selected returned nothing. Does anyone know how I can find what is causing this error?
The warning message suggests there is a reference to this png file in your .xib or .nib file(s).
Now the question is how to find it. Xcode is poor at doing this. Opening every nib file in a text editor like textedit and manual searching is time consuming.
The best solution I have for such searching tasks is to fire up terminal and use grep command. Go to source folder of your project in terminal then you can run the following in your case:
grep -i -r --include=*.xib "my-icon.png" ./
This will return all *.xib files where my-icon.png is referenced.
Later when you will see those *.xib files in xcode you'll find a '?' sign in place of my-icon.png showing that image is indeed missing as you deleted it. Now you deleted it to replace it with another image. So select '?' mark symbol, open Utilities area (to the right) and choose the correct file name. That is all.
as far as I know the search tool of x-code do not search inside the xib files that's why your search returns nothing. Anyway It's really probable there's still a reference in a xib file somewhere. Because xib files are just xml, if you don't want to check all them manually, try to open all your xib with a text editor like TextMate and perform a global text search over the content for the .png filename.
Hope this helps.
Ciao!
Clean the whole project and recompile.
There must be a reference to this file in one of the nibs. If you can't find it, try deleting the nib file where the image was used, and create a new one.
Also, check your bundle for a reference to the image file.
I had this exact same issue and I found that when I included this file in the project I didn't specify both my Development and Distribution targets, only Development, so as soon as I tried building Distribution target, it wasn't found. You have to delete reference to this image, then re-add it and make sure you checkmark all of the targets that it should be found in.
This could happen if you only have an imageName#2x.png image and have run a low resolution non-retina display build.
Cut the height and width in half in your favorite image editor and then save it in the same folder as the #2x as imageName.png
Select your storyboard object in solution explorer, right click on storyboard->"Open As"->"Source Code", now you will see xml code from storyboard. Search your image name with Cmd+F and replace or remove it.
SplitView[1290:307] Could not load the "canary04.png" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with identifier "xx.co.mycompany.ipad.SplitView"
I only get the error when running on the device. There are no problems running in simulator.
I am using the image directly in interface builder with an UIImageView.
EDIT: I have added a different new image to a different nib and that works no problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
It might not be added to your Target and in XCode 4 you can do it like this:
In your Project View, click your project name
Select your target and select "Build Phases" tab
Drag your image file into your "Copy Bundle Resources" section
That fixed it for me.
The filesystem on iOS devices is case sensitive, so it's quite possibly a case issue. (Mac OS X is generally case in-sensitive, hence you've not seen this issue in the simulator.)
As such, check that you're using the same case in the code as the filename itself.
Do you have the image in a referenced folder in XCode (blue folder)? If so you have to include the folder name in the image path, something like "Images/canary04.png"
The easy way
1 Simply do a grep in command shell to find the string of the referenced image:
grep -R 'canary04.png' YourMainDirectoryFolder/*
2 It will give you (for example) an output like this:
YourProject/en.lproj/YourViewController.xib:
<textField borderStyle="roundedRect" background="canary04.png" id="19">
3 You now know which nib file and which element it is. Just go in the file and remove the reference.
Delete the blue folder where the image is.
Import again and select "Copy items if needed".
Select "Create Groups" NOT folders
Save image as PNG-24. It works for me
You can do this to check it from your storyboard, or nib. Open it as Source Code:
Then "Find" the image name in it, see if it exists but already invalid in your project, probably you have deleted or changed its name, and now it doesn't seem valid.
Have you included the file in the target? Right-click on your Target in Xcode, select Get Info and choose the "Targets" group along the top. Make sure your intended target(s) are checked.
Good Luck.
EDIT:
The text above should have read Right-click the file (canary04.png) in Xcocde and select Get Info...
Sorry for the typo.
I had this problem when I upgraded to Xcode 4.4.1. I found that although I had deleted the images (and corresponding buttons, etc.) in the storyboards, there was still mention of them in my storyboard files (in a tabBarItems field). I manually commented them out (), Product -> Clean, and I didn't get the errors any more.
I knew there must be bogus references in the storyboard as I had previously deleted my TabBar and the current App worked without problems, just with annoying messages in the console.
I had the same issue. try to
clean
build and run
it worked with me
In my case, it was because Photoshop wasn't saving my files correctly. In the file save dialog I was clicking on myfile.png in an attempt to overwrite that file, and it was saving the file with a png extension, but in photoshop format.
I had to make sure to actually change the file format to PNG before clicking on the file I wanted to overwrite, thus saving in actual png file, thus being readable by iOS. Interestingly, interface builder showed my psd-as-png files just fine.
More generically, make sure your file is, in fact, in the format you think it is and that iOS is therefore expecting.
Solution 1 :
In my case I had copied folder containing images and even checked "Destination : copy items if needed". However it has not been added to "Copy Bundle Resources" of "Build Phases".
You can add images as follows :
Select Targets
Select "Build Phases" tab
Select "Copy Bundle Resources"
Click on "+" (Plus) button just beneath it
Locate images and add it
Solution 2 :
Delete images by selecting "Move to thrash". Again add images in your project with "Destination : copy items if needed" checked.
Note : Make sure that you add images in Assets.xcassets folder and not outside it.
I was getting this error too. I will describe my scenario:
I have a subdirectory "img" which has some png's in it.
One of these png is "ic_timeprogress_000.png"
In the storyboard (visual designer) I had an imageView and the image was set to "ic_timeprogress_000.png" (not programatically). The designer showed the imageView correctly:
Although when running the app, the error was thrown.
So in the storyboard I changed (I insist: not programatically) from "ic_timeprogress_000.png" to "img/ic_timeprogress_000.png", which lead to not showing correctly the image in the designer but showing correctly when running (no error)
Although I alter imageView.image programatically, so this "initial image" isn't ever used.
Check to make sure that canary04.png exists in your project, and that it was not deleted.
My problem was that I saved the image as .jpg and changed the name to .png (was still in jpg format). It worked with simulator
Check your image name. If it contains some spaces then image will show while running in simulator but not in the device. While running it checks Case sensitive name etc.
I had a different problem in iOS 8. In my case the problem was that I selected Device Specific for the image set, and then selected iPad. Changing this back to Universal fixed the problem.
This setting can be found in the images.xcassets file, in the third column show the attributes inspector for the image set.
In this case the images wont be displayed in the storyboard or NIB file even if you have added them to images.xcassets. They also wont show in the simulator or device.
I've encountered this issue when I was trying to set image of an imageView on Interface Builder (.xib) file.
(I was using Image Assets)
I've had 2 images with theImage.jpeg and theImage#2x.jpg
Interface Builder could be able to display true images at compile time with these jpg / jpeg formats. But I've got this error in the runtime:
Could not load the "theImage" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with identifier "org.etc.etc"
Then I changed my image files formats to .png and it worked!
Try this solution too if you have different formats for images you try to set.
I also met the problem that jpeg files cannot be loaded successfully, however I solved it without changing them to png format: for example, if you have an image named "bg.jpg", don't use "bg" in storyboard (this name is listed in the dropdown selection list), instead you should explicitly write "bg.jpg" in the name field.
For programming based image view, I guess using .jpg extension like [UIImage imageNamed:#"xx.jpg"] should also work (I did't test though).
Try cleaning the project and make sure the info.plist matches the xx.co.mycompany.ipad.SplitView
Check the image name. Then check to see if you can open the image itself in paint or photoshop. If the image was created in photoshop and there were layers sometimes there is some conflict with the .png
I had the same issue, if your images are inside sub-folders, you need to choose "Create groups for subfolders" Option when you copy the resources.
I have this problem with Xcode 5, and it seems "Combine high resolution artwork" is the culprit. I opened the app bundle, and all the images were *.tiff, which caused the image to "not be found" :S
FIX:
Open project settings, and search in the top for "combine". Change that setting to NO.
For some reason, everyone is missing this essential fix.
In my case all images where displaying fine on devices with >iOS 7 but not with iOS 6.1.
The solution was that iOS7 is case sensitive but iOS 6.1 wasn't for me. I had images named like "myImageName" and also named "myimagename" witch leads my old iPhone 3 to be unable to display these images.
So renaming them solved it.
Tried each and every answer here and nothing, so here's another glitch, your icon name cannot have dots (.) because if it does (and Xcode allows you to do that!) while the icons show well in storyboard, they won't load either in the simulator or the device.
Maybe after you set the button's image, you changed the image's name.
2015 - Still having this problem. I was referencing an image that no longer existed in one of tabbed buttons.
Solution:
Simply inspect all your buttons, UIImage etc. and make sure that the image that you are referencing actually exists within your project.
I got this problem when I accidentally added another Image set to Asset Catalog file. I renamed it after I realised the mistake, but it doesn't seem to work.
Removing the file and adding it again solves the problem.
what worked for me is making sure the file's owner in interface builder has a "view" outlet.
From IB, select file's owner from "Placeholders", then in "Connections Inspector" make sure the view outlet in connected to the main view of current XIB.
This happened because i removed the main view at some point and forgot to reconnect my new view.
Hope it helps somebody else.
In my case, the issue was the image format. They were 'jpg' files, while Xcode was expecting 'png' files. Changing the file format fixed the issue.
During the work on my iPhone application the icon changed from time to time. Colleagues or management came with fancy new ideas and .pngS and all I did was changing the Icon.png in the file system. Most times the new icon was distributed to simulator or device with the very next build, sometimes I had to delete and add th icon.png in Xcode (images), but it worked.
Then, the other day I added the UIPrerenderedIcon element to the info.plist to eliminate the icon's shine (it worked) and since I did, I've problems with bringing new icons to the device:
Simulator shows new icon when in debugging mode
Simulator doesn't present new icon in release mode (only when debugging was used before)
Never new icons on any iPhone or iPod
Whenever icon distribution fails, a white square or (even stranger to me) an old icon (corresponding .png is completly eliminated from the file system) is shown
Any ideas?
Try cleaning all targets, that is most likely the case of the old icon showing up.
Also, this happened to me a few times (with in app images)...
The simulator is case insensitive to file names, but the device IS case sensitive.
So, if in the info.plist you say your icon file is: ICON.png
But the actual file is named: icon.png
Then, the simulator will display the icon, However, the device will not.
When ever you change the icon image Try deleting the old application from the simulator/iPhone and thenm reinstall it.. Some times such problem occur with me too.. and also
FOR icon on iTunes
Make the icon image 512 x 512 JPEG or PNG file named iTunesArtwork. Then go to get info and remove the extension. Note that the file must not have an extension.
After generating the file of your application’s icon, follow these steps to add it to your application:
Open your project in Xcode.
In the Groups & Files list, select the Resources group.
Choose Project > Add to Project, navigate to your iTunesArtwork file, and click Add.
In the dialog that appears, select the ”Copy items” option and click Add.
Note that the PNG or JPEG file is just 'iTunesArtwork', with no suffix.
If you try to copy the file into the application bundle after you have built it, it will break the app signing, and you will get a verification error when trying to sync it to your device. Ensure that the artwork file is included in the "Copy Bundle Resources" folder, within your project's target in XCode (step 4, above).
Then drag and drop your app file to the iTunes for cross checkin whether you have done all things correct or not.
Hope this helps..
Start Application in xcode
1 Change the name of the icon.png to icon1.png
2 Remove the app from the simulator or the device
3 Clean all targets
