I recently noticed that some apps in the apple store have large image with the logo on their download page. I was just curious on how to do this and would like to implement it with my own apps.
Ex: Tinder & Bumble
You cannot add it.
This is possible only if your app is selected by the Apple editorial team to be featured

I have an iOS app and I am trying to update the image shown in the iMessage link preview. I can't seem to find how to do this.
I'm assuming this can be done by rearranging the "app preview" content from within iTunes Connect, however, the current image shown in the link preview is of the second "app preview" image (within iTunes Connect) and not the first.
The first "app preview" piece is a video. Will Apple use the first non-video "app preview" item for the "link preview" image within iTunes? Or is there another way to update the "link preview" image?
Thanks!
Ok so through experimentation I've found the answer to this.
Apple provides the meta-data for iMessage to use to show the link-preview thumbnail. That meta-data uses the first screenshot within AppStoreConnect (iTunesConnect) as the thumbnail for all previews of your app's store link.
This is confusing since any app-previews (i.e. videos) will NOT have any affect on what is seen within the iMessage link preview thumbnail. This is true even if you specify a specific thumbnail for the app-preview within AppStoreConnect.
So if you want to update the thumbnail for your app's store link you need to update the first screenshot for your app. It will probably take a while to get indexed (took mine around 24 hours)
Hope this helps someone!
As, shown in the picture the picture a cover image of instagram app has displayed but on most of the app we have not seen this. So how can i add this kind of cover image in my app for app store
Only featured apps can have customized cover image or header. These applications are selected by Apple. This isn't a setting that we can control.
Here is an article on how to get featured in the App Store:
https://thenextweb.com/dd/2013/10/29/get-featured-app-store/
Apple selects popular apps and allows them to add the Cover Photo and Themes. It isn't upto the developers.
From official confirmation on this:
Applications that have custom background art on the App Store are selected editorially by Apple. If your application is selected to be receive custom art, you will be contacted by an Apple representative.
Just found out that some applications have top image with nice parallax effect in the App Store in iOS11.
Example:
Is it possible to provide custom image for my application or it must be featured by Apple at some way? Thanks.
Your app must be featured by the App Store team. You can't set it by yourself.

I'm creating a separate Twitter share button for my iOS app. The image for the twitter share button, am I allowed to make my own version of Twitter's logo for my app as long as users know the button is for twitter? Or am I only supposed to use the exact white bird and blue background image for my share button to indicate twitter? I can't seem to find anywhere on twitter for developers to download the twitter icon button to use for my iOS share button?
The rules for using twitter's logo can be found here as well as links to download the logo for your use.

Don’t:
Use any other artwork from our site, such as the verified badge.
Create your own buttons or images using our logos unless technically necessary, such as in signature bars. If you do, use this resized
version of the Twitter bird
Use old versions or any other marks or logos to represent our brand
I want to add my App icon to default Photo library but I do not know how to do that? Can it be done?
You can see the photo at here
I want to add my app icon for user after select video or photo, can click on my app icon to open my app.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
It's not possible to add your app in the iOS "Photos" app. But it's possible if you want other (3rd party) apps to be able to open files in yours.
A good place to start is this Instagram documentation on how they do it, and from that link you can see that the relevant Apple information lies in the UIDocumentInteractionController class reference and Document Interaction Programming Topics.
