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..

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 recently developed a set of icons for my ios app using https://makeappicon.com. This provides a folder of appropriately sized images. I then have dragged each of these images into the appropriate slot in the AppIcon section in Assets.xcassets. The icon shows up fine in on my phone screen but not in the app switcher (see circled in image). There are no errors showing.
I have:
- Cleaned build folder and rebuilt
- I have restarted my iPhone
- I have manually placed all the images in the slots
- I have also tried replacing the original AppIcon folder with the one provided by make appicon
All to no effect. Be grateful for any suggestions.
Uninstall App → Restart Device → Install App
Just putting here for the sake of working answer !
As #cobberboy has mentioned in comment, doing above works - verified
I have been trying to figure out this issue, as I multiple times changed the icons removed the build, took new builds etc, but the app switcher icon was the default icon.
I have tried the app on a new phone and the desired icon was showing. So my guess is that the app switcher, (also apple watch OS's app switcher) has some sort of hardcore cache machanism.
If anyone coming from Google facing this issue, not sure how to flush this cache, but you can go ahead and ship your app, as this cache is only on your device.
Good luck!
Ensure you have provided icons for all sizes, deploy, then restart the device to clear any caches.
I have changed the appicon in xcode project. But My sharing extension keeps showing old one. When I delete appicon files then it shows nothing but when I add again it shows me old one.
By the way it shows correct in the simulator but not in device
Try to delete app, reboot device and install again. It's work for me.
As I understand, iOS save app icon and launch screen to cache after first app running and load it from cache until rebooting.
I just submitted my first app update and noticed that the icon next to the build number is blank
I did the same steps as my first submission and I could see that icon back then.
Is this normal?
So the issue is because I added WatchKit extension and it and the app both use AppIcon as resource for icons. This causes the confusion even though from XCode everything looks correct and the app has the correct icon.
Change the name of one of the AppIcon resource, update plist/target, resubmit and everything looks fine now. Waiting for review
This is completely normal if your app doesn't have an app icon (or if you just have a white icon for your app icon). However, if you do have an app icon set in your plist and it's showing up in the simulator / devices, the no.
I get an error when trying to submit my Apple Watch app to iTunes Connect.
However, I have added all Apple Watch icons to my xcassets file and have added it to my Apple Watch App Target.
So I don't know what to do about this. Thanks!!
This is a crazy bug on Xcode 6.2 but I found an easy fix (after lots of hard work).
Apparently, Xcode doesn't work well when using same icons for the app and for the watch at the same asset catalog so just separate the icons and that would fix that.
Moreover, Pay attention that the assets resource is attached to the WatchKit app.
Just a small notice, Pay attention to have a square icon and not to include any transparency on those icons. It would be submit if you do but would reject automatically after few minutes.
I'm not sure if there is an icon spot for CarPlay in xcassets for the Apple Watch Apps or not, but I know that there is a glitch in Xcode 6.2 that has caused me to encounter the same error when I have a CarPay icon image added. When I removed the CarPlay icon, it fixed the issue instantly.
Go to the Watch App Target and click the arrow next to the App Icons Source field. Then click on an icon of your choice (doesn't matter which one). Open the File Inspector (right sidebar, first icon from left) and select the Apple Watch Target under Target Membership.
