@2x and @3x still needed?

With the new icon sizes listed in https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/launchFile/index.html Are the doublesized icons with ending @2x and @3x still needed?

Hi @d.mach,

Yes, you should create all 3 sizes for Launch Screen images in the Xcode setup side.

If you’re using a build of Corona 3037 or later, then you can use files with any name of your choosing as long as they are the sizes Apple is expecting. We’ve updated our guide here: https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#custom-app-icons

As long as you provide all the icons in the sizes listed, the name  you give them is kind of irrelevant. For instance you could if you want you could have:

Icon-40.png    40x40

Icon-40@2x.png 80x80

But we feel that it’s simpler to manage them if you just name them Icon-size.png

Now for DefaultXXX.png files, if you stay with static based UILaunchImages, they will still need to be named correctly, though we recommend going with Storyboard based launch images on iOS.
