Question About Uiprerenderedicon

Solar2D iOS
#1

Hi all,

Just a quick question about turning off the Apple gloss effect on your app icon… In my build.settings, i have:

UIPrerenderedIcon=true  

I believe this turns off the gloss effect for your icon. When I subsequently build for testing on my device, this works and everything is ok. I’ve now (literally) just submitted my app after filling in all the form details and uploaded the app.zip file - but i’ve noticed on iTunes Connect website the app icon now has the gloss effect.

Has anyone encountered this before? Should I be worried that the gloss effect will be applied or hope this is just a hiccup? Or should I update/re-submit?

Thanks,

Hi @Appvism,

This might just be a hiccup, or how it appears on iTunes Connect. I’d suggest you wait and see how it appears on actual devices once approved. If it shows with a gloss effect, then something is definitely awry.

Hi Brent,

Thanks for the reply back - i’ll wait and see. I think i need to update my binary anyway and amend some text description.

Just another quick question while i’m at it, i received an email from itunes connect regarding the use of Apple’s push notification api and that my app was missing the aps-environment entitlement. This must be a result of the Corona SDK because i am not specifically calling or using this for my app.

Any ideas how i disable this? In my config file i’ve use:

launchpad = false  

Do you think this is not having an effect or is it something else?

Cheers

Actually just seen this!: http://developer.coronalabs.com/forum/2013/01/24/missing-push-entitlement-after-itunes-connect-upload

I was going to ignore apple’s email as well because the email looked like a heads up/warning.

By the way, with launchpad = false, would that disable all app stats/analytics? Or is that separate and, for example, part of the cloud service now?

Cheers

Yes, setting 

launchpad = false

 will disable analytics. All other Cloud-related things are opt-in by explicitly calling the appropriate APIs.

I’m pretty sure the last time I submitted the gloss effect showed up on the icon in itunesconnect but not on the final app icon as downloaded from the app store.

As closure for this thread, just to confirm:

  1. Yes you are right, the gloss effect shown on the app icon in iTunes Connect website was just a hiccup. The actual live icon is fine!
