My IOS app has all the app icon files properly set in Assets.xcassets in Xcode. The icon is also displayed correctly in the device during test.
I see a different icon (Ionic icon) in the Appstoreconnect beside the app name. I am not sure if that is ok or I am missing some steps to change this.
#tapas-mukherjee You don't need to do anything. once you will select the build to review then it will automatically pick the same icon and start showing there. I faced the same issue but found this when was submitting the app.
I have uploaded an app onto the apple store through iTunes connect with the app icon size 1024x1024 in the assets.xcassets folder and by manually uploading it in iTunes connect. However after my app has been approved for an update, the icon shows up as white when in the App Store but when downloaded the Icon is there. Is there anyway to figure out a fix for this? I am not sure as to why this has happened as I have uploaded the app with zero issues with the icon 3 times before.
I have figured out the answer, I just deleted and then re uploaded the app store logo in assets and then reuploaded my project under a different build number and it now shows up on the app store
I have an app I'm developing. But when my iphone is locked and the push notification goes to the iwatch it doesn't show my app icon. Rather it shows the default app icon. I tried adding the watch app icons to the App Icon file. but it still only shows the default icon when the push notification goes to the iwatch.
Are you sure you put them in the AppIcon in the images.xcassets folder in the WatchKit App target? There are 8 sizes you'll need to supply.
Be sure all the image in the xcassets are in the correct dimension in pixels (be sure no warnings from Xcode). After change or add images in my App I removed the App from iPhone and Watch and reinstall all. Then all icons were OK.
You need to add AppIcon in "WatchKit" Assets.xcassets file. Then remove your old build and install new one. Now you can see app icon.
I had same problem...
All images and assets were correctly in place
I even did a clean build, deleted the watch app and reinstalled it (via Xcode debugger sequence)
But: The app icon still would not show up in the listing or glance
Note..important clue, the icon WOULD show up if I use the simulator.
Fix: After installing the latest and greatest update, REBOOT THE WATCH.
i.e. I held the side button until the Apple Icon reboots
Voila..the icon now appears correctly..go figure..
I was wondering, how can i have a specific app icon on the AppStore and have a different App Icon once the app has been downloaded?
For example, if you look for "Spy Calc" in the AppStore it has the icon of a calculator and a spy, although, once you download it, you only see the icon with a calculator.
How are they doing this?
The app icon (that appear in your iphone installation) is stored inside your assets catalog and the icon in the App Store is saved in itunesConnect. Maybe you forgot update in itunesconnect your app icon (i made this mistake once)
I need to change the large app icon (512x512) for app store. I can't find how to to this through iTunes Connect. I's possible change the app screenshots though. I read the iTunes manual (page 97) and it says that it can be done but I only have the "choose file" button for screenshots, not for the large icon.
I am also confused because the same manual says on on page 99 that edit-ablity of the large icon is locked.
What am I missing?
Yes, editing of large icons that are already in use by iTunes Connect is locked, but however, You can still register a new update to Your app, in which You can upload Your new 1024*1024 icon
:)
Hi,
I think, no need to upload a new build.
Sorry, it's in French, but I think you get it. You need to scroll a little bit but there you can upload an image file. Best is PNG and size 1024x1024.
Change iTunes / App Store Icon.
Now
With new UI & Functional changes in https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/. Now your app icon will get change only with Assets.xcassets -> AppIcon -> ItunesArtwork#2x.png of 1024 X 1024.
Earlier
In earlier https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/ UI & Functional there were separate features to change the App icon for iTunes.
I found out that you can change the large app icon if your app is not on sale yet - but the place to change it is well hidden.
1.click on the app in itunes connect
2.click on "view details"
3.click on "edit" button next to Version Information at the top of the page
4.scroll all the way down
5.change icon
I was confused, because I used to know the "upload icon" field from my iOS app, but did not see the field when I wanted to submit my Mac OS X desktop app.
The answer above indicates that you can upload an icon only for updates, which is true for iOS apps, but for Mac OS X apps, you can never upload a separate icon file, instead the 512 icon is uploaded together with your binary bundle:
"Note: You will not be asked to provide a large icon when adding your
Mac OS X app because it will be uploaded later as part of the binary."
from p56 of https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/iTunesConnect_DeveloperGuide.pdf
To change the icon from one app-version to the next, after adding the new version to prepare for submission:
Delete the previous icon by clicking the red (-) on the icon
Save changes
Refresh page, and you can choose file to add
Just remove the build from build section, app icons automatically unlocked then you can update Appstore icon.
Don't know why but after we delete the icon the link "Choose file" appears to be hidden, but if we save and then reload the page it shows up.
Hope it helps
I had to select a build in the "App Store" tab in App Store Connect before my app icon appeared in App Store Connect. Until I did that there was no icon displayed in TestFlight. You don't need to submit the build, just select one and that App Store Connect should pull the icon out of the build. It only took a few seconds for me.
Swift 5 Upload app with new App icon it will automatically update Appicon on App Store.
Also an issue I had was that the app was rejected and we wanted to update the icon before pushing a new version. In order to change the icon I had to remove the current build and then we could update the App Store Icon.
