I am using MobileFirst 6.3
I have followed the steps mentioned in IBM Worklight - Can't change app icon in both Worklight Console and device
I have created an icon of size 120*120,named it as Icon-120.png
Copied it to iphone\nativeResources\Resources
After I run it as an Xcode project , I could see that this icon was copied to iphone\native\Resources
But still the default icon does not change in iOS simulator.
Can someone point out if I missed anything ?
Thanks
I did the following:
Created Sample WL project.
Added iPhone Environment.
native and nativeResources Folder have been created.
copied the .plist file - .xcodeproj file and Resources folder from "native" folder to "nativeResources" folder.
Deleted the "native" folder, since it will be generated in the next build.
added the following icons to "Resources" folder, inside the "nativeResources" :
(Icon-29 , Icon-57 , Icon-120 , iTunesArtwork.png [ which is 512*512])
open .codeproj and make sure the icons are inside.
Build the project from Eclipse after you "Refresh" it. and the new icon should appear.
add this property in your .plist file

I published an application to apple app store and I got a message which says that I'm missing marketing icon as I'm using iOS 11.
where can I add this 1024X1024 png marketing icon in xamarin studio?
I'm using xamarin studio 6.3, xcode 9.0
Now in IOS 11, we need to add a new icon in our project of size 1024*1024. Also, make sure you are using released version not a beta version.
Under the project in Xcode navigate to “Your project -> Images.xcassets->AppIcon"
Scroll to the bottom
Add a 1024x1024 icon
I faced same issue with Xamarin v.6.3 and xcode 9.0. After long search and long tries, here is how i solve it:
Add 1024x1024.png icon to your project. (Make sure the png file dose not have Alpha or transparent). you can use Export option in Preview application of Mac.
Open your Storyboard using Xcode.
Go to the Assets.xcassets folder.
Under Appicon category, you find App Store iOS box.
Drag the icon from your images.
Save your project in xcode.
Go back to your Xamarin and make new build, then submit to Appstore.
From the post given by Xamarin, App icons should now be delivered by an Asset Catalog.
For help with migrating icons from an Info.plist to an Asset catalog, see the Migrating from Info.plist to Asset Catalogs guide
I manually modified the application icon information that is part of the asset catalog. From your project folder navigate to the asset catalog folder and the appiconset folder within that folder. Locate the Contents.json file and edit it. In the file there is a list of images and you will need to add this text to the list:
{
"filename": "<YourImageFile.png>",
"size": "1024x1024",
"scale": "1x",
"idiom": "ios-marketing"
}
You will also need to add the file to your project file by adding these lines to the item group that contains your other icon files:
<ImageAsset Include="Resources\Assets.xcassets\AppIcons.appiconset\YourImageFile.png">
<InProject>false</InProject>
</ImageAsset>
1) Double-click the Info.plist file in the Solution Explorer -> [Your iOS project] and fill the iTunes Artwork:
2) It problem still existing,update your Xamarin Studio to the latest version and try again
3) Try to use Visual Studio for Mac
Note: Remember to fill the App Icons for your target devices in the Assets.xcassets also.
I successfully uploaded my app on Xamarin forms but after it was uploaded I received this in an email from apple:
"Missing required icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPad of exactly 167x167 pixels, in .png format ."
So it wants an image in my resources file I suppose (not in info.plist icons as they are not asking for 167x there) but should I name it: Icon-83.5#2x.png or Icon-174.png?
Go to xcode > select Images.xcassets > check ipad from the right menu at the top right > you will get new set of dimensions, now it's easy as fill your new app icons for each dimension.
I've had this particular problem in the last couple of days.
The iPad icon didn't show within the Info.plist and kept giving the warning you're getting right now.
My fix was to manually add the icon Icon-83.5#2x.png to the resources folder ( as Prashant pointed out ) and add this to the Info.plist:
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>Icon-40.png</string>
<string>Icon-40#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-40#3x.png</string>
<string>Icon-60#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-60#3x.png</string>
<string>Icon-76.png</string>
<string>Icon-76#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-83.5#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-40.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-40#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small#3x.png</string>
</array>
I used to work with Asset Catalog but I couldn't get it to work with the iPad Pro icon.
For the forum post Andres mentioned in the comments:
Rename the 167x167 icon file to Icon-83.5#2x.png, place it in the Resources folder, and make sure it has a build action of BundleResource.
See https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/application_fundamentals/working_with_resources/ for information about setting BundleResource option.
XCODE 13 2022
In my case, the problem was default AppIcon is deprecated, then we need to use a new App Icon standard. As I publish apps to iPhone and iPad I need all the necessary icons. (This issue no appear when you check only one device(iPhone or iPad))
Go to Xcode >Images.xcassets> And select your App Icon from the assets list.
Right-click on there, You can now see a menu list like that
Select iOS>New iOS App Icon
Then you can find now a new "AppIcon" asset named "AppIcon-1"
There is a difference to "AppIcon" because It has more icons options(iPad icons size)
Remove "AppIcon" (OLD)
Rename your "AppIcon-1" to "AppIcon"
Now you can put the missing icon size.
Xcode 14.1 (14B47b)
You're getting this error because you have checked the iPad option. In my case, I had been developing my app on Xcode 13.x and then after the new version of Xcode 14.x I got this error.
So on Xcode 14 there is no need to create app icons in various versions and put them inside Images.xcassets, just follow the steps:
Click on the Images:
Then try to press + and choose iOS App icon:
You will see it got changed by comparing it to the previous version, it only accepts one and only one 1024x png image.
Now, clean your last build and build your app again.
But if still you want to use the previous version, you can click on AppIcon and then after choosing it, open the right panel of Xcode:
Then by choosing All sizes you would be able to see the previous version set.
I use Visual Studio 2017 on a Windows machine with a MacBook connected to it. I have an Asset Catalog called images that contains an image set called AppIcons where I have posted all of the various required image sizes. I was getting the same error as medvedo except I was getting three errors for 3 different images sizes (2 for ipad and 1 for ipod as I recall) After a lot of searching I found the solution was to reference the Asset Catalog in the Info.plist file.
First I had to find the path that Xamarin was putting my asset catalog in. I did that by deploying the app to the MacBook and then using Finder I went to the Go menu and chose the Library folder (earlier in the day I Googled how to show hidden folders on the Mac) In the Library folder I found the Caches folder and in that I found Xamarin/mtbs/builds/myappname There I found that the folder was Images.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset. I say all of this knowing that it might always be in that folder but I had to look it up so I thought I would share in case it changes from installation to installation.
Once I knew the path and name I was able to add the following to my Info.plist file inside of branch
XSAppIconAssets
Images.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset
FYI - I have built and deployed this app to iTunes at least 4 times over the previous 8 months. I am not sure what I did, if anything, to cause the error to pop up.
After trying many things, this is how I fixed the "Missing required icon" error messages:
Go to Solution->ProjectName.iOS->Asset Catalogs->Assets.
See "AppIcons" there? We are going to delete it, BUT FIRST! Find that same folder in your project files and copy it somewhere safe. Now, delete the AppIcons asset in the project. Also delete the "Assets" catalog.
ProjectName.iOS right click select 'Clean'. Go to physical project folder. Delete the "bin" and "obj" folders. Find the empty "Assets.xcassets" folder and delete it as well.
ProjectName.iOS->Asset Catalogs right click select "Add Asset Catalog". It should automatically add an "AppIcons" entry. Go through and set each of the image sizes, pointing to where you copied your images. They will automatically be copied to the Assets.xcassets folder. They will also generate hidden entries in the ProjectName.iOS.csproj file that will include the image in the final binary. The entries look like this:
<ImageAsset Include="Assets.xcassets\AppIcons.appiconset\1024.png">
<Visible>false</Visible>
</ImageAsset>
Edit Info.plist. Set the App Icons Source to "AppIcons".
ProjectName.iOS right click, select "Rebuild". ProjectName.iOS right click, select "Archive". Archive Manager > Distribute > App Store. Verify certificate. Enter Apple login name and App-Specific password to upload. Done!
If you are still facing issue with all the above process steps performed correctly.
Then please check you are logged into appstore connect using your browser and then try to publish it will and work.
If you do not want the app to be available for ipad and getting the same error just uncheck ipad from runner properties below version number
Must I make icons for iPad if it's an iPhone only app? Apple says, that it's not required. When I try to send my game using Application Loader, I see this.
Can I just delete CFBundleIconFiles(iPad) from info.plist ?
You do not need iPad icon files if your app is an iPhone-only one. Those errors can occur sometimes if the project isn't cleaned or if the resource files aren't copied into the project properly.
Make sure you've marked the app for iPhone only, and remove the iPad icon files from your info.plist, and also make sure all the files are copied in your copy bundle sources. To check this, go to
Your project target > Build Phases > Copy Bundle Sources
and clean your project pressing cmd ⌘+alt ⌥+Shift ⇧+K.
If that didn't work, delete the images from your project, drag and drop them again, and repeat the steps above.
I'm testing a sample iOS app now, although I set all new launch images in Xcode (Summary tab of Project Target screen), PhoneGap 3.0 keeps showing its default splashscreen. Why? even when splashscreen is a plugin and not included by default in PhoneGap 3.0 now.
iOS document say about launch images but not splashscreen, and it even strongly recommend us to use a "first screen" similar as launch image, not something like about screen. Are these same?
It's not about cleaning or caching issues at all. The problem is PhoneGap includes all possible launch images in project template by default. These files are under Resources folder and copied to bundle's root folder on build event. Although I properly selected my own launch images in Xcode (Target/Summary screen), default PhoneGap's specific files e.g. Default~iphone.png overridden my files :(
Once issue is identified, you can fix it someway, but I prefer below steps:
Delete all default icons and splashscreen files under /platforms/ios/AppName/icons and /splash folders. You surely don't need these placeholder images.
In Xcode, select Targets/AppName, then tab Build Phases, delete all file names of images in the above step in section Copy Bundle Resources.
Add your own images files for app icon and launch images here.
Edit Info.plist file (file AppName-Info.plist under /platforms/ios/AppName/) to include your images, you will need to use CFBundleIcons and UILaunchImageFile keys. Go to iOS developer site for reference.
Splashscreen and launch image are the same thing.
You probably did everything right but iOS (especially in the simulator) often just doesn't change those things (splashscreen, icon etc.) during development process. Try to delete your app, clean your project (in Xcode: Product -> Clean (shift+cmd+k)) and reinstall your app.
Whilst trying the AFNetworking iOS example project I noticed that Xcode was displaying the target icon. Xcode does not do the same for my own projects/targets however.
AFNetworking iOS example project that shows the target icon:
A project that does not show the target icon:
The only difference I can see between both projects is that the AFNetworking iOS example target has an 'Icon files (iOS 5)' ('CFBundleIcons' raw key) dictionary within *-Info.plist. Surely this cant be the source of the problem though given that my example project is targeting iOS 7? Both targets do have an 'Icon files' ('CFBundleIconFiles' raw key) array within *-Info.plist.
Please could someone help to shed light on where Xcode is looking for the target icon?
I tried all the above and did not fixed the icon issue. I was using assets catalog for the project and X-Code version was 5.0.2.
Following steps fixed my issue:
Select the Project file from the navigator and select the target which you do not have the icons
Then select Build Phases and expand and Copy Bundle Resources
Add the *.xcassets file to the bundle resources (In my project the file name was Images.xcassets)
Clean and build the target.
To get the icon to appear you have to have the App Icon (Icon-72.png) in the root directory of your project.
If you've changed the App Icon name, you must change the correct properties (CFBundleIconFile, CFBundleIconFiles, and CFBundleIcons) in the Info.plist to the changed App Icon file name.
(This part doesn't matter, but I've found it works much better if you do.)
Fully qualify your info plist file in your target build settings with the following variable name: $(SRCROOT)/your_plist_file_name.plist (of course changing "your_plist_file_name" to the correct name)
I've also found you have to change your target's info plist to a different plist, then back to the correct plist file in order for the icon to show in the build settings. You'll also have to click away from the project file and then back in order for it to show in the list of targets.
I'm using Xcode 5, but this should work on Xcode 4 and above.
Good Luck.
Please flow the step
1)Click on the app icon arrow
2) drag the app icon 120*120 px
3) fisrt time click on the scheme then show the app icon or rest the simulator and again run
See this screenshot:
Here Blue are dimensions and red are icon names. Like 57-57 is actually 57-57.png. Put all these icons in the root of the project with .xcodeproj file. Add them into the project. Then set them all accordingly in Target > Project Name > General
Doing this will start showing every icon at its place in XCode automatically.
If using the Asset Catalog, select Images.xcassets and look in File Inspector. Check the target membership and make sure your target is selected.
