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.

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'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 I've checked this answer, but probably it's outdated now as i can't see any such options on iTunes Connect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 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..
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.
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.

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.
