Deploying my iOS application to Testflight results in a grey-ish app icon.
All the icons are PNG files saved without transparency. In XCode 9.0 everything looks fine:
In iTunes Connect the app icons seems to have the right color:
Yet Testflight displays a greyish version of the icon:
The app icon on the home screen looks fine too.
It's the first time I stumpled upon this issue.
Did you encounter this problem?
How did you solve it?
Thank you for your help!
We tried different color profiles, web tools, nothing worked. Then we added red and green numbers to our icons to find out which of the image files was used for the generation of the app icon in Testflight – and suddently the problem disappeared.
As strange as that sounds but adding a magenta dot in the corner of the icon solved the problem.
(The dot is not visible to the user since the corners are rounded)

I went to MakeAppIcon and made them. Posted over there and deleted an icon called "App-Icon-76x76#2x.png". But when I launched on my iPad, the icon didn't appear. By the way, the other app is successfully appearing icon so I think this is not the iPad problem.
The icon 76x76#2x is used for Retina display on iPads, so if you delete it, you'll not see the icon.
So you need to create one from your original that makes 152px x 152px, it will normally avoid the yellow error.
The icon I'm using with my app looks fine everywhere on my iPhone X except for when it is listed within Suggestions.
At first I thought this was a cached image from when my version 1 app icon did have curved edges resulting in Xcode automatically adding the black border. I deleted the app from my phone before installing the latest version. Unfortunately, even though I am now on version 2 of my app icon which is completely square the black border still lingers within Suggestions.
What am I missing in order to remove this black border from Suggestions?
Using my version 2 app icon
no black border - good
black border - not good
Xcode icon setup
What does the red dot (circle) next to the app name below the app icon mean?
I added a Today Extension (Widget) to the app. It appears only when I launch the app on the iOS 8, it does not appear on iOS 7 simulator. Even though I removed the extension and cleared the simulator, it still appears before the app name.
An Orange dot next to an app normally means it's a beta version, as installed through Testflight. I have a couple of those at the moment, though one looks more red. Trying to find if there's a difference between an orange and a red dot, or if it's just an artefact of the colour of the background image that makes it look red.
The dot you see is actually an orange dot, with transparency. On dark backgrounds it seems like it's red. Try changing to a bright background.
Orange dots for all beta apps that are downloaded from TestFlight and blue dots for recently updated apps from App Store.
Thanks for the question #user5673323221, and the answer by #PhilBowman. As apart from the red colour, there are few more colours as well such as yellow and blue having their specific meaning.
Check this Medium article for them all.
I seem to have some across and interesting issue that I can not resolve. I have a app written in XCode 5 running ios 7.1.
The app was working perfectly until I moved the folder location of the project. When I ran up the app on my phone the app worked perfectly but now I no longer get a app icon, launch image and the whole thing seems to only run in 3.5" mode as well, even on my phone (5S). I get black bars at the top and bottom.
I have renamed the folder that the project now sits under back to the original name but this issue has not gone away.
I was wondering if anybody else has ever come across this??

It seems your pbxproject got a bit messed up (maybe you had absolute paths used ? )
Select your target in Xcode.
Under general, App Icons , re-assign the launch images.
The clean and rebuild your project.
Check this link out as well :
Black bars showing when running app on iOS 7 (4 inch retina display)
I was able to resolve the issue manually, seems like it is a bug with Xcode for now and I will file a radar report.
To resolve the issue, follow the below steps:
Navigate to project settings
Under "App Icons and Launch Images" click on "Use Asset Catalog"
Select "Migrate" on the popup that appears.
This should fix the issue.
I'm working on application in ios using PhoneGap(1.9).Following are the issue's i'm facing with quiet few hours...
1)My application is getting crash when application enters in background mode.
2)Also,how to disable splash screen.I have deleted default.png image,but still it is showing splash screen with phonegap logo followed by white blank screen.
Thanks & regards.
I came across this question because I'm having the same problem with background mode.
However, regarding splash screen, I can tell you that you have to replace the specific file for the screen size. It generates images for all of the screen sizes and you have to replace them in the built folder, not just the original project folder (at least I seem to have to do this).
The built folder is at the path that should look like /MyProject/platforms/ios/www/res/screen/ios/[screen_specific_splash_screens]
Similarly I had to do the same for the icons:
/MyProject/platforms/ios/www/res/icon/ios/[screen_specific_icons]
Docs for these files (talks about which screen sizes):
