My problem is that I don't see a icon when I look for my app in iTunes. I am not sure why?
I am creating IPA files. I include an image called iTunesArtwork.png.
Any help appreciated.
This is what i am seeing in iTunes. Notice no image for iCreditCard.
Why can't I see my icon? (See iCreditCard app with empty image)
This is the contents of the IPA folder.
I put iTunesArtwork (a jpeg file with no file extension/suffix) inside my Ad Hoc ipa files, not iTunesArtwork.png.

I have a 120x120 icon image that's working fine on emulators - however when I try it on my device, the icon doesn't show up. Any thoughts?
I figured it out. This was actually really annoying. So the UI designer had simply renamed his .psd files with .png and xcode thought this was fine. However, renaming the .pngs isn't going to automatically make them real .pngs. The way I solved this was going to mac preview and exporting the files to the PNG format.
Sometimes some of the images get cached by the OS.
Delete your app completely from your mobile device (press and hold, then delete the app)
Turn off your device and turn it on again.(This ensures that the cache gets cleared)
In xCode, clean the project and rebuild.
Load the software again you your device.
You should be able to see your icon as long as its properly added to your project.
Drag your app over another app to group both into a folder. Then drag the app out of the folder.
Check your info.plist file. Make sure the icon entry looks something like this (use your own image file names of course):
If you see another "Icon already includes gloss effects" row outside, remove it.
It is not uncommon not to see your app icon on the device. However, when your app is being uploaded to the App Store, everything will be fine.
Is your iOS device running iOS7? If not, you will need to include 57x57 and 114x114 icons as well. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/18737063/1646862 for icon sizes apple requires. It is always good to include all icon sizes you may need in your iOS bundle.
Hi Iam installing a application through iTunes, but when im adding the application(.ipa file) to iTunes its not displaying the app icon image and when I install the application into iPhone it is displaying the app icon image.
May I know where is the problem.
I want image to be displayed when I add the .ipa file to iTunes.
Did you add the iTunesArtwork icon file?
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1686/_index.html
Note that this must be a 512 by 512 png image but its name is iTunesArtwork with no file extension.
If u get the ipa file from xcode and open it in itunes, it won't show the icon image in itunes, if you install it in ur iphone through sync with itunes, then the icon will be displayed.
This is the normal thing. Don't bother about that.
you have to add 76x76, 152x152, 40x40, 80x80, 29x29, 72x72, 154x154, 50x50, 100x100 and iTunesArtwork for see proper icon of app.
App Icon naming iTunesArtwork(512 X 512) and iTunesArtwork#2x(1024 X 1024) should be added without image extention.
IOS app development with phone-gap.
When the app is installed/launched for the first time, PhoneGap logo(with text- 'iphone retina') appears which needs to be removed. I am not able to figure-out whether it is an image or css, where it resides and how it can be removed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You need to delete the current Default.png file and put your own Default.png file (320x480 for noraml). For ratina image keep Default#2x.png (640x960) file.
When looking in a compiled .app bundle, I see PNG images used as resources for this application. However, when I try to view them, they come up blank.
Why can't I view these PNG images from compiled iOS apps? Is there a way to do so?
You should not use other people assets without their permission.
You are running into the fact that PNG files are optimized during the file copy phase of an iOS build. You have to revert the optimization to view them.
pngcrush -revert-iphone-optimizations <filename>
Apple has published a Tech note about Viewing iPhone-Optimized PNGs.
I have an icon (57x57 pixels) which I copied to recources folder and added it to info.plist
but I don't see it on iPhone.
Can someone help me?
The bible of app icons is Apple's QA1686. If you're sure that the file's in your project, and named in the Info.plist, my next question would be: is it a PNG file?
Once in a while I have noticed that if you add an icon to your app and then run the app on your phone or on the simulator, that the icon will not show up. If this happens, I usually have to manually remove the app from the device or simulator to get the icon to appear.
