Ad-Hoc Icon in emulator, not on hardware

[nyundi]

Hi everyone! I'm very new to IOS dev (first app!) and am having some trouble getting my app's icon to show up on hardware.

I've found a few other posts about this but as far as I can tell, the advice given doesn't help me out

I have an app, targeted at IOS 3.0; I've added two icons to the standard target (the normal Icon.png, and the retina Icon@2x.png). Both display in the target's summary (using XCode 4). I've added the images as resources to the project, and according to the info pane, they are all listed under the "Icon Files". The property "Icon File" is empty (I've read this is correct, but I've also tried putting values in here as well).

If I clean, build, and then archive (choosing the correct target, etc.), I end up with an .ipa file, which I can drag into iTunes and sync to my phone. The app works, so yay! However my phone does not display the icon.

I opened the contents of the .ipa and the files are there, but are curiously blank. The stranger thing here is that I've also added a splash screen (Default.png), which does in fact render on the hardware, and the file appears blank in the contents of the archive (I'm guessing this blankness then has nothing to do with the problem).

As I recall, the icon did appear when I ran the app directly through XCode to my phone; but as I'm trying to set up an Ad-Hoc system for beta testing, I'm trying my best to emulator my tester's experiences...

At this point, I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm too much of a newbie to figure out my way around XCode easily enough, and google is failing me on this.

Please help, and thanks so much in advance!

If I remember correctly, an additional 512x512 image, iTunesArtowrk (no extension) is to be included for ad hoc builds, but that should only be for display in iTunes. The device should still use the Icon and Icon@2x.

P.S: A side not since you're new. The Default image is not a splash screen, and should not be used as such. This is specifically noted in the HIG.

Thanks for the fast reply. I do have iTunesArtwork in, and it works fine. I have Icon.png and Icon@2x.png at the same level as iTunesArtwork in the project, but alas, no good. Any other suggestions?

(also, thanks for the heads up on Default.png)

Aha, I've found the problem.

At some point (yesterday probably) I had the wrong icon name. After deploying that to my test phone, obviously, it didn't work properly.

Since then, I've simply been re-syncing through iTunes my latest updates, and never saw a change. Apparently I had to manually delete the app, sync, and then re-install the app, syncing again.

That forced through whatever changes it seemed to be ignoring, and made the icon appear.

Hopefully this will help someone else out in the future!
