Any alternate Solutions?
P.S. Application is meant to run on non Jailbroken Devices, and is not meant for the Appstore.
If you are not intend to upload yours app to Appstore , then may be below process will be your answer -
Create a completely transparent PNG file, and use it as Icon. Enable the "Prerendered" checkbox to make sure no gradient is applied to your icon.
In your .plist file, remove the string "${PRODUCT_NAME}" from "Bundle display name"

So I get these errors just when I was uploading the app in appstore. Please click Image Tag if the image does not load.
I would like to know if we can bypass the ipad multitasking support orientation requirements?
iPad Multitasking support requires all the orientations but you can opt it out by below step:
just add UIRequiresFullScreen key in .plist file of project and set the Boolean value YES.
Or
open project .plist file using text editor and below lines:
<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>
In iTunes connect website, I went to upload a new version of my iOS app and I noticed there is an empty placeholder for the app icon.
I would assume that it doesn't make sense for developers to have to upload a new app icon with every version.
How can we just use the old app icon?
I found out that Apple now forces app icons to not have transparencies.
My icon contained Alphas.
I had to remove alpha by doing a File->Export from Mac Preview by unchecking alpha and uploading the exported .png to iTunes Connect.
The transparency could be the reason why the icon was removed, because I have used this icon during many updates before, but Apple no longer allows icons with transparency.
As stated in this StackOverflow post.
I'm currently building a WatchOS2 app.
Everything works fine, except that when my app is listed in the MyWatch app on my iPhone, it is displayed without the icon.
I googled a lot, but haven't found any hints on the required icon (size, name, location, ...), or hints on which icon will be used from the MyWatch app.
Thanks for any hints on this.
Use this website for generating app icons for all platforms:-

Upload a 1024*1024 pixel app icon and this website will take care of the rest
Make sure that you are putting your icons ".png" files into the asset catalog in the main watch app folder, not the app "extension" folder. Next, note that the files under "Apple Watch Companion Settings" will be the ones that show up in the Apple Watch app on the paired iOS device. The sizes should be 58px for the 2x and 87px for the 3x. To get the files in the proper location, all you need to do is drag and drop them into your "Assets.xcassets" folder for the Apple Watch app.
As far as getting it to show up on the iOS simulator, I cannot get it to show up either. When I run the same apps on the actual watch and phone though, the icons show up just fine inside of the Apple Watch app on my iPhone.
For more information on Apple Watch icons, check out the human interface guidlines.
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..
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.

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.
