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 could not find option to upload App Icon (1024x1024) on newly updated home screen of https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
Where I can add the App Icon?
Currently, we don't need to upload 1024 icon individually in AppStore, whatever the app icon you uploaded in Xcode project(appicons), will be reflected in AppStore.
Nowadays it's added on the Xcode AppIcon Assets, doesn't need to be updated anymore in the appstoreconnect.
I have uploaded an app onto the apple store through iTunes connect with the app icon size 1024x1024 in the assets.xcassets folder and by manually uploading it in iTunes connect. However after my app has been approved for an update, the icon shows up as white when in the App Store but when downloaded the Icon is there. Is there anyway to figure out a fix for this? I am not sure as to why this has happened as I have uploaded the app with zero issues with the icon 3 times before.
I have figured out the answer, I just deleted and then re uploaded the app store logo in assets and then reuploaded my project under a different build number and it now shows up on the app store
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:

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.
