On a iOS5 Newsstand application we are developing we are having a strange behavior which I wonder you know what this is about.
The application is being downloaded and installed from TestFlightApp correctly into iOS "desktop" upon finishing the installation it moves to Newsstand (which is expected behavior as this is a Newsstand app) and disappears from the location it was being downloaded. If I swipe to another section of home screen, and go back, I see again the app icon on the desktop with "Installing" message and bar at 100%. The application works perfectly on Newsstand rack, but the shadow "Installing" icon on the desktop stays there until the phone is restarted. Any ideas? Thanks
I stumbled into this same problem and believe I found the source.
On an existing project, I had changed the iOS Bundle ID from the default com.yourcompany.ClientName to com.ClientDomain.ClientName.
I published a new IPA and dropped it into our "adhoc" web directory for distribution. Meanwhile, in the .plist file, the key bundle-identifier /key and string com.yourcompany.ClientName /string was still there, so it no longer matched.
Once I updated the "yourcompany" part to ClientDomain, the shadow icon problem was resolved.
Hope that helps someone in the future!

I recently released an app on the apple App Store however I have an issue with the app icon not displaying correctly. It displays fine on the App Store when viewed from a MacBook however when viewed from an iPhone the icon is fully black like so:
The same app listing on the App Store viewed from a MacBook:
Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case? The icon displays correctly in Xcode and on apple connect yet when viewed from an iPhone on the App Store it turns all black.
Try resubmitting your app. I think it's a current bug with App Store Connect.
When you go into App Store Connect, ensure the icon is displaying properly under the build (on the main version screen). And when you submit the app the for review, also ensure it's displaying properly.
I had the same black icon issue, and after uploading the app a few times, I finally got it to display with the proper icon on the main version screen. And when I submitted for review, it also displayed the proper icon (not the blacked out icon). It took a few attempts.
I managed to fix the issue. The problem was that I was using the flutter package flutter_launcher_icons to generate the app icon and for some reason it did not generate all the right sizes causing the app icon to show up on some devices but not on others. Apple still approved the app which made me think that it was an issue on their side rather than mine. I fixed the issue by using this app icon generator instead which generated all the right sizes and now the app icon shows up correctly on every device.
I have recently developed a set of icons for my ios app using https://makeappicon.com. This provides a folder of appropriately sized images. I then have dragged each of these images into the appropriate slot in the AppIcon section in Assets.xcassets. The icon shows up fine in on my phone screen but not in the app switcher (see circled in image). There are no errors showing.
I have:
- Cleaned build folder and rebuilt
- I have restarted my iPhone
- I have manually placed all the images in the slots
- I have also tried replacing the original AppIcon folder with the one provided by make appicon
All to no effect. Be grateful for any suggestions.
Uninstall App → Restart Device → Install App
Just putting here for the sake of working answer !
As #cobberboy has mentioned in comment, doing above works - verified
I have been trying to figure out this issue, as I multiple times changed the icons removed the build, took new builds etc, but the app switcher icon was the default icon.
I have tried the app on a new phone and the desired icon was showing. So my guess is that the app switcher, (also apple watch OS's app switcher) has some sort of hardcore cache machanism.
If anyone coming from Google facing this issue, not sure how to flush this cache, but you can go ahead and ship your app, as this cache is only on your device.
Good luck!
Ensure you have provided icons for all sizes, deploy, then restart the device to clear any caches.
I just upgraded Xcode and Xamarin iOS to a newer version, and I face problem as in the image below. I am stuck in it for a long time. Can anyone help me?
You must add app icons to proceed , or either some bundle settings are not recognizing the app icons you have added already.
Application Icon - Every iOS app must define an application icon. This is the icon that the user will tap from the iOS home screen to launch the app. Additionally, this icon is used by Game Center, if applicable.
Take a look at this thread for Xamarin where all of it is included , Good Luck !

I am changing app icon for my app and had below issue.
Even though I changed app icon still at times when I quit the app the animation shows old app icon and then transforms to new app icon. And also in Siri suggestion I still see old app icon. Will this be there even after app release or is it just a issue with running through Xcode. Is there anyway I can remove this app icon caching? I tried deleting old app and restarting device and then installing new app that solves this issue, but actual users won’t be doing this. Can anyone suggest any solution for this issue?
I am using Xcode 11 and I am on iOS 13.
Clean build and delete derived data, and that should take care of your issue. But users downloading app from App Store will not experience this issue.
1) Product > Clean build folder
2) XCode > Preferences > Locations > click on arrow for derived data
The iOS Springboard caches the app icon. So as soon as you change the app icon it won’t reflect in Siri suggestions and few app quit animation may still show old app icon. Gradually as user starts using the app with new logo and when iOS springboard caches the app icon again it will start showing the new app icon. So, don’t worry gradually all your users will start seeing the new app icon.
I am using the procedure described here http://help.apple.com/deployment/ios/#/apda0e3426d7 to install an in-house app using a wireless network. As indicated in the docs, I have created a website serving a webpage containing the link to the app manifest.
A user would typically install the in-house app on his device by opening the webpage and then pressing on the link to the manifest. With iOS 7.x, the Safari browser would then go in the background and the user would see the app installation in progress (app logo + progress indicator on top of the logo).
In iOS 9.x this is no longer the case: Safari does not go in the background and there is no visible indication of the app installation except a very tiny progress indicator at the upper left corner of the device's screen. In other words there is no immediate visual clue that the app is installing, as in iOS 6.x & 7.x
However the installation completes successfully and the app logo eventually appears on the device screen.
Is there a specific way of activating the previous iOS 6.x & 7.x behaviour? Has something changed in the in-house wireless installation procedure?
Thanks
I got the same issue in my company, and it's more a bug than a feature. I hope the 9.3 version will fix this
