Answer 1

I've seen this question asked alot on Stackoverflow and noone seems to have answered it properly yet. This is very simple actually.

For instance if you are using phonegap to build an iOS app, all you need to do is: replace the default images on

www/res/icon/ios/icon-36-ldpi.png
www/res/icon/ios/icon-48-mdpi.png
www/res/icon/ios/icon-72-hdpi.png
www/res/icon/ios/icon-96-xhdpi.png

with your icons...

Next, before you can run the app you will need replace the icons on Xcode too: path should be

**YOUR-APP-ROOT/platforms/ios/YOUR-APP-NAME/Resources/icons**

the magic lays within "icon.png" and "icon@2x.png" however you should replace all of the icons above, and also make sure you have the correct dimensions for each image you are replacing with, otherwise the app will not built successfully.

Now you are able to

phonegap build ios

followed by :

phonegap run ios

Have fun!
