Answer 4

It appears this problem is still not fixed in the GM. I set UIPrerenderedIcon to YES, but the rendered icon includes gloss effect.

Sorry, I confirmed that this problem is solved in the GM. If you would like to erase gross effect, set "Icon already includes gross effect" under "Primary Icons" under "Icon files (iOS 5)" to YES.

Answer 5

Some of you will do these things and still not have retina display or gloss to reflect these changes.

In XCode 4.3.2 and possibly earlier versions, make sure you check the "Summary" tab in your project settings. There you will find a section called "App Icons" that should show both your Icon.png and Icon@2x.png. Make sure you have the "Prerendered Icon" box checked.

Even after all this, you might not have the retina display working. Check the "Info" tab's "Custom iOS Target Properties" section.

Make sure you delete the "Newstand Icons" section if you aren't going to use them or it will stop your app from passing validation when submitting to the AppStore.
