Where to get the bookmark/folder/history icons used by MobileSafari? - iphone

where can I get the bookmark/folder/history icons used by MobileSafari? I tried to copy them from MobielSafari.app but unfortunately those icons cant be opened. It seems they are encrypted.

Not an answer to your question, but for similar icons be sure to check:
Glyphish: Free for non-retina, $25 for retina versions: http://www.greepit.com/open-source-icons-gcons/
GLYPHICONS: Free for non-retina, $25 for retina, $50 for retina+vector version: http://glyphicons.com/
gcons: Free: http://www.greepit.com/open-source-icons-gcons/

I found that creating a UImage with the name Bookmark.png will give you the ios bookmark icon.
However not sure about history and folders. Tried History.png ... no luck.

Go to the sitting, scroll down> safari, scroll down> history
Good luck

How to change facebook app icon

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...
New link:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[your-app_id]/app-details/.
Under the section: "Icons"...
Heres the docs
Scroll to the next section to see something which might be of interest too:
Promotional images (Cover image & Banners).
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).

XCode won't accept my 57x57 size icon?

I'm trying to archive my app with XCode. I have 4 different icons (57, 72, 114, 144).
It works fine when I drop them in but when I try to validate it after building I get the following...
If I go back and try to replace the 57px icon with a 72px icon I get this message.
Why is this happening?
Here is the values in plist, haven't done anything here manually.
Here is the apple doc for icons
In case the above link gets expired I'm including the screen shot, I know it's the content are impossible to see, here is the image link. Btw you can always right click on the image and copy image location and open it in new tab.
Here is how you can specify icons
In theory you can name them whatever you want for iPad as long as they are in the info.plist. In order to support older version of iOS, I always name them the way apple recommand, which has already been quoted by Inder Kumar Rathore.
Take a look at here to see how to Add Icon files in Info.plist
#PhlipK: Your info.plist looks very different from mine, here is how mine looks like.
Take a look at the link I mentioned above and try to edit your info.plist see if that works.

iPhone "page curl" icon is disappered in iOS 5

Does not SDK page curl icon anymore?
page curl icon is used on native map app (http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/iphone/1/help/en/images/icon_page_curl.png)
I can assign page curl icon in iOS 5, but icon does not appear on tool bar.
this icon is appear in under iOS 5.
do you have any idea of this?
I just got answer from Apple that the problem has been determined and is a known issue.
So we all can just hope they will fix this in iOS 5.1 release.
I found this person created their own page curl icon. You can use this one (it's under an open license):
http://blog.shuningbian.net/2011/01/ios-toolbar-pagecurl-icon.html
I just took this, resized the image to 20x20 and plan used it in a custom UIBarButtonItem it in my app. It doesn't look quite as nice as apple's, but it works!
Alternatively you can give this tool a shot to try and extract the icon from UIKit on a version 4 device:

change launch image(default.png)?

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.

Where can I find custom UITabBarSystemItem icons?

Is there a resource out there some place that has custom UITabBarSystemItem icons that others can use. I know you get some from Apple to start, but I would imagine there are a lot more that are very common. I don't see a reason for each person to recreate the wheel for things like home, settings, etc...
Here is a list of some great resources I found. I have no connection with any of these sites just some resources I think are useful.
Collections:
Free:
App bits
The working group
Axialis Software
Free and paid:
Glyphish
PixelPress
Tabs Icons
Paid:
Kombine
eddit
app-icons.com

You can get some free icons from Glyphish under the Creative Commons Attribution license.
Also, although it's not free there's a nice icon set available from eddit. These work fine for TabBar items.
Check out IconFinder. They have a very robust collection, and you can sort by image size. though these are not always perfect for the TabBar, you can find some good generic icons. You can also filter by license to find icons that are available for commercial use.
You can try use following:
UITabBarItem *anItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemMore tag:0];
And the system icons are described and shown in:
