App binary rejected and message is as following
Guideline 2.3.8 - Performance - Accurate Metadata
We noticed the app icon displayed on the device and the large icon displayed on the App Store do not sufficiently match, which makes it difficult for users to find the app they just downloaded.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please ensure all your app icons are finalized and similar enough to each other to avoid creating confusion. When users search for your app on their devices, they should be able to recognize it from the icon on the App Store.
1.When I click Choose File the app-icon shows perfectly
thereafter selecting a build, it again changed to fully black coloured icon
EDIT Note: I tried without choosing icon manually in iTunes connect, added 1024 image in assets is Automatically selected and shown as App Store large icon, again icon becomes full black.
I found a solution, Just delete AppIcon from Appstoreconnect webpage, It will automatically accepts 1024 image added in Appicon file in the bundle.
I'm working on iOS application (iPhone, iPad) and little confused about the app icon stuff. I'm using XCAssets and my app supports version>=8.3. So,the image below shows what I've selected from XCAssets and I've placed all these images.
I've looked into multiple links on Google and SO but getting confused e.g this link App icons iOS.
App icon for iTunes Connect. The above mentioned link states that we need to add Artwork icon for iTunes (1024x1024), but i don't know where to add that. I've checked this answer, but probably it's outdated now as i can't see any such options on iTunes Connect
What are "CarPlay" icons for?
What is "iOS icon is pre-rendered"
Please answer the above mentioned points. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks
.
In addition to Wottle's answer,
Answer to the artwork icon point: We have to add app icon on itunes connect. For that you need to go into your app and have to update it in AppVersion/AppIcon as shown in figure attached. then click on "Save".
Ofcourse, this method will change with time (As apple makes update in itunes UI often). Right now, it's the way to do it.
The Artwork icon will be sent to Apple on the iTunes Connect site when you enter your application metadata for a release of your app. You do not put it in the XCAssets.
CarPlay icons are if your app supports CarPlay, Apple's iOS interface for car infotainment systems. Not needed if you app doesn't support CarPlay.
"iOS icon is pre-rendered" is a setting that will determine whther iOS addes a glare to the icon in iOS 6 and before. It should have no effect on apps installed and run on iOS 7 or later.
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)
Since the 1024x1024 pixel update in iTunesconnect we've been trying to remove the icon gloss from the App Store icon.
Our app icon looks fine on iPhone or iPad (prerendered icon flag is OK), but the icon we upload to itunesconnect gets the gloss added. This is what we mean:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1734172/gluddle-itc.png
We already experienced this with our lite version: the icons on iOS look fine, but there does not seem to be a way to disable gloss for the App Store icons.
Does anyone have an idea how to disable gloss for the App Store as well or is this changed in the App Store update?
[we used the search, but haven't found an answer to this question]
The App Store icon is styled according to your application info.plist. Apple use the 'gloss' effect by default in iTunes Connect because your binary hasn't been upload and processed yet. Once your app goes live you icon should be displayed correctly (according to your info.plist). If you still have issues your only course of action is to raise it as a bug with Apple.
https://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
After adding a new version of my app (with 1024 high res icon) it was also adding the gloss effect in iTunes Connect, it stayed there till I released it. It's showing fine in the AppStore and on iPhone and iPad.
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.
