Unable to internationalize icon.png file

[Alx]

Hi all,


I know how to internationalize my Icon.png file.

It's workign on my iPhone, and on the simulator.


But when I upload my application to itunesconnect,

I got this error message "The bundle did not contain an icon."


And I also know why... because there is no "Icon.png" file

at the root of my application.app folder (when I browse "package contents" in Finder)

because the 2 "Icon.png" files are in English.lproj and French.lproj folders.


If I put an "Icon.png" file at the root of the distribution app',

itunesconnect does accept it, but the Icon is not localized.


I can't solve this issue and didn't find any help on Internet.

Any help would be really appreciated.


Thanks in advance.


Best regards,

Alx

I have to admit, I never wanted to do that myself. Anyway, I'd first try this:

1) Right click on your info.plist
2) Choose "Get Info"
3) Click on "Make Localizable" button.
4) On top of that window now choose "General"
5) Then click on the "Add Localization" button and add your localizations
6) Now you have 2 different info.plist files and this should allow you to use 2 different icon images as well.

Again, I have not tested it, so maybe try it with a new project first.
Good luck.

thanks for your answer.
I tried that and that partially solved my problem as I finally was able to upload the binary to itunesconnect BUT the application is not really well localized :
- after installation, the right main icon is displayed in springboard
- but if I change the language, name of my application does change but not the icon...
- I also tried to reboot the iPhone => same issue

So I tried to switch the language and then to reinstall the application, in this case the right name and the right icon are displayed.

But still, changing the language doesn't work for the icon.

Anyway, that's a good solution because people don't change the language so often, and so if after installation they have the right icon, that's OK for me.

thanks for that.

If someone else has another solution to solve at 100% this issue, don't hesitate to tell us.

Alx

I've written to Apple for that.
I already got an answer asking me more details and a sample project.

If they solve this issue, I'm gonna put the answer here.

Alx,

Did you find a solution to this? I can't seem to localize the Icon.png app icon either.

[mavrick3]

Try this:

- Rightclick on Icon.png
- Get Info
- General: Make File Localizable

[mmilo]

Thanks but I already localized the file.

This seems to work for Default.png just fine (and other assets), just not Icon.png.

In my info plist file, "Icon.png" is specified as my CFBundleIconFile.
