Precomposed icon for Flex (Flash Builder) Air to iPad app - ipad

When you create a HTML web app for the iPad you can opt to use a precomposed icon. This means that no gradient or styles will be added when the app is installed.
Using the Flex Air to iPad converter I can find no such option. The icon I use is automatically given a gradient overlay.
How do I tell Flex to use a precomposed icon?
thanks,
Chris

How to show app in a small size on home screen in iOS?

I am using swift to build a mobile app. I see some Android apps support showing in a smaller size on top-right on the home screen. I wonder how I can acheive this on iOS. Does it require any kind of permission?
Below is a screenshot about YouTube app show on the top-right of the homescreen.
The only comparable thing in iOS is for videos on an iPad — not every iPad supports it. It's called Picture In Picture.

Show external icons in my iOS app

Does iOS have a way of displaying icons belonging to other apps, eg.
App icons of Apple's built-in apps (eg. Apple's icon for the "Mail" app)
App icons of other apps (eg. the app icon for Google's "Hangouts" app)
Other icons in Apple's built-in apps (eg. Apple's icon for the "Print" action)
The purpose is to mimic "Send via Messages" in Safari, et. al. The alternative would be making copies of the icons and update them whenever they are updated by its creator (not fun).
No, you can't use other app's icons to build a custom view, but you can use UIActivityViewController that seems to be what you need.

Black Borders in Adobe Air IOS

My application on IOS created with Adobe Air is displaying random black bars on the top and bottom of the screen using an iPhone 5 and all other 4-inch devices.
I have exported the same app on Android, Desktop and HTML and the aspect ratio is rendered correctly. I've also tried changing the stage dimensions to match the iPhone's screen resolution to no avail.
I have enabled high resolution in Adobe Flash CS5 and also targeted the iPhone exclusively. My render method is direct, and yet nothing seems to make the borders disappear. This is what it looks like:
I also tried creating a blank Adobe Air project, and the bars still come up regardless.
I have used Adobe Air SDK 3.2, 3.4, and the latest SDK and nothing works. What is happening?
You need to use the proper launch image for the device you're on. See here and here:

Preview icon design on iPhone/iPad (for amateurs)?

our company is having an app made and our app developer is providing this service in-kind. They asked for icon files which I need to prepare for them.
Is there anyway I can preview what the app icon will look like, directly on my iPhone/iPad? I have Adobe Creative Suite (for preparing the graphics), but don't have any iOs developer tools.
Thanks!
If you have a mac, you can download XCode for free and preview your icon with the simulator.
I have ecountered this a few times. And there are a number of ways to do this.
1) Create the icon in png format and upload it to the HTML directory of your webserver. Name the icon 'apple-touch-icon.png'. Point safari on your phone to the url and hit the 'share' button and click the "add to home screen" button. Safari will add that link as an icon to your homescreen and use the "apple-touch-icon.png" as the icon for the link.
2) LiveView Screen caster is a great app for previewing in semi-real time your screen designs on the device. http://www.zambetti.com/projects/liveview/ If you create the icon in the right dimensions and you can preview it on device that way. (My mistake, I actually thought there was a PC version of liveView, but appears there isn't)
Try this iOS App, works great. It connects to your Photoshop, mirrors Photoshop's canvas onto your iOS device.

I'd just send my icon files (pngs for example) to my iPad via e-mail or Dropbox. :)
I made a tool that lets you upload an icon and it will text you a link that you can add to your home screen and preview the icon.
