iOS icons are not displayed

[Kancho_K_]

Hello,

I tried several times to build iOS package for my app with customized icons, but every time when I install it on the device it does show the default Cordova icon. I have specified all the icons for the iOS build on the Launch Icons tab, but apparently it does not take any effect on the device. I am using the Cordova 3.x Hybrid Mobile build. The version of Intel XDK I am currently using is: 1621.

Any ideas of what might be going wrong on my side) ? I guess I am missing out something when preparing the package, but still wondering what....

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Wishes,

Kancho

Would you please upgrade the XDK to the latest version and build your project again? The current version of the XDK is 1995. Let me know if you have any further issues.

What device/iOS are you installing the app on?

  Hi Brandon! Hi John!

  Thanks for the fast reply!

  I upgraded to the latest version 1995. The builds are working fine, but when I install the iOS build it is still showing the default Cordova icon. I have specified all the icons into the Launch Icons section for both Portrait and Landscape modes, but cannot get any of the icons on the device when I install the package.

 The device I am currently testing is iPod 4.1 with iOS 6.1.6

 By the way, I do not have such an issue on the  Android device when I install the apk file.

Any tips would be of a great help. Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Wishes,

Kancho

iOS 6 is less than 2% of iOS devices now and we do not require that those icons be submitted since Apple does not. Please see this article on how to add your iOS icons.

@Kancho add this to your intexdk.config.additions.xml file:

<!-- Spotlight Icon -->
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-40.png" width="40" height="40" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-40@2x.png" width="80" height="80" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-40@3x.png" width="120" height="120" />
<!-- iPhone / iPod Touch -->
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon.png" width="57" height="57" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon@2x.png" width="114" height="114" />
<!-- iPad -->
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-72.png" width="72" height="72" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-72@2x.png" width="144" height="144" />
<!-- iPhone Spotlight and Settings Icon -->
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-small.png" width="29" height="29" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-small@2x.png" width="58" height="58" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-small@3x.png" width="87" height="87" />
<!-- iPad Spotlight and Settings Icon -->
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-50.png" width="50" height="50" />
      <icon platform="ios" src="res/ios/icon-50@2x.png" width="100" height="100" />

create icons for these sizes and set the file name and path to whatever u have in your projects. These icons will cover all the iOS old versions, the icons you add in project settings are for  iOS 7 and newer.
