I create an app for distribution with ad-hoc, but when i drop it into iTunes there is no image. Then we i drop the app to the device there is still now image. I must be missing a step somewhere.
I have the images in the correct places with Xcode, but still no dice.
UPDATE
This is in reponse to Sergio
I would suggest checking that the .plist file in your project has got the correct settings for the app icon. E.g. (image)
Keep also in mind that on one occasion at least I had the experience of the app icon not showing and the only thing I could come up with was the fact that the icon had a custom name (e.g. myapp-icon). reverting the icon name to "Icon.png" everything went ok.

I am trying to upload my app to TestFlight. I have created new provisioning profiles and have code signed the app as following:
In Xcode, the app successfully uploads to iTunes Connect, and soon after, I see the "processing build" screen on the Activity tab on iTunes Connect:
A few minutes later, the processing build disappears and there are no builds on the screen. I am unable to select a build as it simply says, Submit your builds using Xcode 6 or later, or Application Loader 3.0 or later.. How can I find the build on iTunes Connect? Thanks!
My solution... is terrible, but I have found success uploading builds until they show up. It sometimes takes like 30 uploads, and other times it only takes one. This problem is affecting every build I have tried since I switched to Xcode 8 in December. It's horribly inefficient but it's the only thing I have found that works.
EDIT: Right after I sent this answer, I got my build processed at upload 13. Good luck, buddy.
I also faced the same problem With xCode 9.
The reason behind it was, the new icon we have to include in App Icon for App Store (1024 * 1024) was in .jpg format instead of .png.
Here is the mail, I received from Apple.
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "MyAppName". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
Invalid Image - For iOS applications, icons included in the binary submission must be in the PNG format.
If your application supports the iPhone device family, you must include square icons of the following dimensions: 57x57 pixels.
If your application supports the iPad device family, you must include square icons of the following dimensions: 72x72 pixels.
For macOS applications, icons included in the binary submission must be in the ICNS format and must include a square 512x512#2x image.
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team
So my advice is
Look into your/client's mail box, you must have received email from Apple regarding the issue
Make sure you have included every image file in .png format
Make sure you have included every privacy description correct regarding the exact usage
For example, for Location usage description, instead of "App would like to use location", please write something like "Location is required for driver to find out where you are as well as for nearby suggestions."
Add missing items in info.plist, such as icon files, privacy usage description, requirements etc. It works for me.
Is it possible to make one name and icon in iTunes and when I install that app in iPhone then different name and icon appears in my iPhone?
Yes, it is possible. The name of the app on the iTunes Store can be different from the display name of the app on phone. Same is the case with iTunes Store Image and App icon(show on mobile).
Of course, if you can, doesn't mean you should. :D
For consistency, I would prefer to have the same name and icon at both places.
Application name and icon is not valid to change.
No, the icon is specified in the application bundle, which you must
not change. If you change it, your app signature will become invalid
(not the same checksum) and thus your app won't run anymore.
In my app , I am using iCloud features.
However when i go to settings > iCloud > Manage Storage , my app icon is only show white.
I have already added iCon-Small and all #2x into my project and also I tried delete my app from my iPad and run again. That's showing only white iCon like the following pic.
How can I do it?
If your app is not live then you cant seen application icon in settings.
I have this in a long-standing live app (so not in initial development) - the same white generic icon as you're seeing, and also the bundle name is used, rather than the bundle display name which is subtly different in my case. It's not just you and me, Pixelmator also appears the same on my devices - and it's bundle name also looks to be slightly off from the display name as well.
I suspect however this is a cached server side thing in iCloud. I have many apps listed that I've never installed on certain devices, including OS X apps on my iOS devices - so this is something that is probably uploaded to iCloud when your app update is processed by Apple.
This problem started for me sometime after I implemented Asset Catalogs for storing my app icons, and looking in my Info.plist, I can see I still have some of the old icon keys referenced, though the icon file references themselves have been removed from the plist. I'm wondering if this slight misconfiguration led to iTunes Connect incorrectly processing my binary and failing to extract the image from the asset catalog. However, I don't see how this would lead to the wrong bundle name being applied, unless this is just what the iCloud settings screen does.
I'll update this if the next update fixes it. It could even just be a sporadic error or bug on Apple's end.
I have a strange problem with my application name: my project is called "something - somenumber" (with the dash).
For the submission, the App name I've chosen is without tje dash, infact, in the iTunes Store I can see the name without it.
But when I download my approved App, the name is with the dash..
Have you ever heard something similar???
Is this a problem with the new SDK and IOS version?
Now the name has to coincide with project name???
Thanks
By default, the Bundle display name in the Info.plist of iOS apps is ${PRODUCT_NAME}. ${PRODUCT_NAME}, by default, is the same as the project name, which in your case has a dash. The Bundle display name is the text that gets displayed under your app's icon in the device's home screen. This could be the reason why you can see the dash when you download the app.
You should change the CFBundleDisplayName in the apps Info plist file. This value is what the iOS spring board uses underneath each app. This can also be localised.
.bundle identifier is for the provisioning profile.
I have an application in the "Prepare for Upload" state in iTunes Connect (ITC). I had initially setup ITC with provisional information, and was ready to upload final info, such as the high resolution icon, category selection, copyright statement, etc.
ITC allowed me to make all these changes, but when I clicked the Save button and went back to the previous screen, it showed the old icon and old information. I tried this several times with the same unsuccessful result.
I also contacted Apple's ITC support, but they sort of gave me the runaround and didn't offer any clear answer.
Fortunately I found a workaround. The icon file I had been uploading was a PNG file named "iTunesArtwork" with no extension, named as you have to name it to embed it in the bundle. On a hunch, I gave that image file a ".png" extension and updated in ITC again. This time the update took, and I was able to submit my app with everything set up exactly as desired.
So was the file extension really the trick? shrug It seemed like it to me based on the number of times I re-tried this, but it may also have been a change on Apple's side, so I can't guarantee this will work for you.
