Unfortunately I have a problem.
In the Home Screen icon has a black border.
What am I doing wrong?
Why in the simulator I see correctly while the icon on the device I can not see properly.
I am attaching the screen

You probably can't see it on the simulator as it has a black background.
I am gonna take a guess and say that you have some transparency in your icon.
Make sure that you icon fills the entire image, you don't need to add the corner radius on yourself either as the OS will do it for you..
I think icons might have transparent border area.. Remove the transparent area.
Apart from liamnichols's answer's transparency border. I find there also other two issues.
a. transparency border (as liamnichols's answer)
b. icon has a black border (rare and easy to find)
c. icon size is less than the regulation (for example 60 x 60 not match the 87 x 87)
PLease tell me how can I create app icon for iOS 7 with perfect quality?
Now my two app icons have black artifacts on corners..
Original iPad desktop icon for retina 144x144px without artifacts
I also check "iOS icon is pre-rendered"
What I'am doing wrong? Why Xcode or iOS render my icon with ugly corners?
Please, help..
I generally make my icons square in the first place and then let Xcode handle the curved corners. That way you don't end up with ugly curved black lines.
Your red background is to big, when re-rendering the corners some of the red comes inside the app icon, it looks dark because it is mixed up with the blue.
Create a completely squared app icon, xcode will do the rest and it won't look screwed.
(remove the red background)
This is because your app icon's corner radius and apple's standard corner radius are mismatching. So they filling the gap with black backgound. I suggest you to make a squred icon and dont check iOS icon is pre-rendered unless there is a particular requirement. Another solution is to adjust the icon with some image editor. May be adjusting your corner radius will help you.
I have added an icon to my app. It has rounded edges and no background. The problem is that when I run an app on my device (iPhone 5) the icon has a black background behind the edges as if it wasn't transparent. Any solutions?
From the apple developer website after a quick search:
Avoid transparency. An app icon should be opaque. If the icon’s boundaries are smaller than the recommended sizes—or you use transparency to create “see-through” areas—the resulting icon can appear to float on a black background, which tends to look especially unattractive on the beautiful wallpapers that users choose.

Edit: Also, check the related questions before you confirm your post - Is is possible to use transparency in an iPhone app icon?
On IOS use just square icons, if you use rounder icons you will have black margin black background.
I have been trying to solve this app icon color issue all morning. I am still experiencing this after going through both of these highly recommended photoshop/iOS design articles:
http://davidmckinney.com/blog/2013/12/31/designing-iphone-apps-how-to-setup-photoshop
http://bjango.com/articles/photoshop/
Here is the problem that I am having:
When creating my app's icon, the color that I see in Photoshop is the exact same color that I see in xcode's asset catalog. It is also perfect when I run the app on the iOS simulator.
However, when I run my app on my iPhone the app icon's color is always darker.
What's weird, is if I take a screenshot of my iPhone's screen and email it to myself, the color is correct! So for some reason the color is only darker when you are actually looking at the iPhone's screen.
Pardon my ignorance, but this is the first design I have ever done for an iOS app and I don't understand why this is happening or how to fix it.
EDIT: I am now using LiveView after reading this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3597221/3344977
What's funny is no matter how hard I try I cannot get the color I see on my screen to appear on my iPhone screen. It's as if this shade of Pink I'm trying to use just isn't possible to render on an iPhone display.
This is because your iPhone and Monitor screens have different color calibrations (if that's the right term)
You're going to want to setup a color profile on your computer that matches the iPhone screens as closely as possible, and use that when developing icons.
for some reason the color is only darker when you are actually looking at the iPhone's screen
Consider turning up the brightness on your iPhone. Go to Settings->Wallpapers & Brightness to adjust it.
In any case, the issue isn't that the value of the color is changing on your device, it's just that that color value is being rendered differently.
Its because the resolution of your screen is different than your iOS device try it on other device
I want to know is there any way i can show the app icon with a transparent background, for example a white circle and the area around it as transparent, thought the image har transparent canvas. But app shows black background of the circle icon.
All relies are welcomed.
Your app icon will be displayed as the same sized round-cornered square button as all the other apps -- there's no way to truly make it look like a round button, for example.
If you control the device(s) on which the app will be installed, then you can add a background to your icon that matches the wallpaper on the device. Don't forget to turn off the shine effect by setting the UIPrerenderedIcon flag in your Info.plist to YES.
