@nahmeenstudios thanks for the heads up… I am in the processes of submitting my app to the store as well…
I named the different files with the new resolutions (Icon-76, Icon-120, etc…)
I just added them under the CFBundleIconFiles in addition to the other Icon files… I will be submitting the app probably tomorrow (Sept 2)… I will report back if I get any e-mails from Apple …
I’m still kinda scratching my head on this one. Let me ask engineering to see if they have figured it out yet. I saw what appeared to be where someone got rejected already for not having the new icons in place (which makes no sense to me since iOS 7 isn’t out yet).
Found something on 9to5mac that mentions this… http://9to5mac.com/2013/08/30/apple-inadvertently-asking-developers-for-ios-7-optimized-app-icons/
What’s the proper way to include these new sizes in our project?
This is pure speculation and hopefully I’ll hear back from the engineers after they come back from the long weekend/holiday, but if I were to guess, I would think this would be in order:
“Icon.png” , 57x57
“Icon@2x.png” , 120x120
“Icon-72.png” , 72x72
“Icon-76.png” , 76x76
“Icon-76@2x.png”, 152x152
I honestly don’t think Apple really looks at the file name for anything meaningful. iOS2 did, but with iOS 3 you provided the file name of the 57x57 using the CFBundleIconFile key. iOS4 added the array of keys: CFBundleIconFiles = {. I suspect that Apple reads the files you specify and actually opens up the file to determine it’s size and hunts for the icons it’s looking for. If that’s the case, it probably wouldn’t hurt to provide more icons than they will actually use and maybe we should do:
“Icon.png” , 57x57
“Icon@2x.png” , 114x114
"Icon-120.png, 120x120
“Icon-72.png” , 72x72
“Icon-72@2x.png”, 144x144
“Icon-76.png” , 76x76
“Icon-76@2x.png”, 152x152
I don’t have any apps that are nearing submission so I don’t have a real good way of testing this right now. Again DISCLAIMER I’m guessing here, lets wait on the engineers.
(And don’t forget to include the four spotlight icons: 29x29, 58x58, 50x50, 100x100) Of course Apple makes then optional.
Rob, I will give the second set a shot. I think they still want the 57x57 and 114X114 for iOS 6 and below. I should be submitting an update to a app i have in the next week or two, so I will keep this post updated. But I am going with the following setup.
“Icon.png”, 57x57
“Icon-60.png”, 60X60 – I read somewhere this should be included, its doubtful, but it couldn’t hurt to include
“Icon@2x.png”, 114x114
“Icon-120.png”, 120x120
“Icon-72.png”, 72x72
“Icon-76.png”, 76x76
“Icon-72@2x.png”, 144x144
“Icon-76@2x.png”, 152x152
“Icon-Small-50.png”, 50x50
“Icon-Small-50@2x.png”, 100x100
“Icon-Small.png”, 29x29
“Icon-Small@2x.png”, 58X58
@Rob Mircle and @jmarchalonis, I have just submitted an app with the new dimensions last night, in my CFBundle I did some thing similar to what you guys are talking about… http://reviewtimes.shinydevelopment.com is reporting ~4 days from start to finish (I am assuming that number will go up given the holiday), but I will also report if this works… (I used the name Icon-144 instead of Icon-72@2x.png, and so forth…)
I submitted an update on thursday with the naming scheme i mentioned above. I will also let you guys know what the verdict is in a few days. Has iTunes Connect been very unstable for you all recently? It was a nightmare getting it uploaded on thursday and checking things on friday.
It will be good to know, but after I spent a good amount of time reading through Apples documents you should be fine.
@ Rob I just got a message from Apple; It passed with no issues.
thanks for the infos!
The app I submitted at the beginning of the month passed with no Icon errors…
Thanks to all! Help me a lot this information. My app is under review to.
Missing icons warnings won’t affect the review of the app, been that way for a good while now. But after added the icons with the correct file names, also the ones for Iphone 6, I still get the same warning almost 2 years later. I know that Iphone 5 and 6 users with IOS 7 and 8 will still get the icons correctly displayed, since I test on device before uploading.
But can staff confirm that the app made in latest Corona is packaged correctly for App Store, so that the icons are included in the package and are “mapped” correctly so that the package is as if I’d made the app with latest XCode? I.e. that the warning is just the result of buggy server code and should be safely ignored?
Or has anyone managed to upload without seeing this warning recently? What was the gotcha?
If you follow the instructions in: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#appicons
exactly you will not have any icon warnings.
