info.plist error

dip · July 13, 2013, 2:46pm

Hey guys, Im trying to create a build for my Corona game and I get this error after the build finishes;

“Info.plist: Unable to verify icon dimensions, no icon found. You must define CFBundleIcons, CFBundleIconFiles, CFBundleIconFile, or provide a default Icon.png that is 57x57 (-19013)”

Ive searched this error online on forums and just don’t understand how its fixed… I understand its something to do with Icons and how its displayed in the info.plist file within the .app file.

Any ideas on what I have to do. The help is greatly appreciated.

I would start here:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#custom-app-icons

Filename’s are case sensitive, so there is a difference between icon.png and Icon.png. Reading that whole document on build.settings is probably a good idea, not just the icon part.

Thanks for that Rob Miracle, I’ll defiantly check that out.

So is it a problem with whats inside my build.settings file?

And potentially what files are sitting in the folder with your main.lua.

I see. Well I think I see the problem after reading the doc you sent me. The error mentioned I needed do declare CFBundleIcons, CFBundleIconFiles, CFBundleIconFile. In my build.settings file, neither of them exist.

Here is a typical build.settings file for iOS apps (I didn’t include any android bits to keep it simple for now)

settings = { &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;orientation = { &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;default = "landscapeRight", &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;supported = { "landscapeRight", "landscapeLeft", } &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}, &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;iphone = { &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;plist = { &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;UIStatusBarHidden = true, &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;UIPrerenderedIcon = true, -- set to false for "shine" overlay &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UIStatusBarHidden=true, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CFBundleIconFiles = { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon@2x.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon-72.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon-72@2x.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon-50.png", &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Icon-50@2x.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon-small.png", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Icon-small@2x.png" &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }, &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;} &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}, }

That’s great, thanks for the example. I noticed a lot missing from my version which is why the error probably occurred. Thanks for the help Rob Miracle, greatly appreciated.
