Answer 1

Add iTunesArtwork in your info.plist's CFBundleIconFiles.

Answer 2

I don't get it. However I'm running OS 10.8.2 and Xcode 4.5.2. At one point my app icon was working and somewhere along the way it vanished. I tried restarting, deleting derived data and nuthin.

However I tried:

1. Copying the icon.iconset folder to my desktop.
2. Deleting icon.iconset folder from Xcode
3. Dragging the folder back into Xcode (copy files/folders enabled)
4. Rebuild and voila! It showed up.

Magic I guess...

Answer 3

Check if the name of icon file is "Icon.png" .... not "icon.png" Not "ICON.PNG" not "icon.Png"

Answer 4

In your projects build phases turning off image compression solved this for me (it's either image or png compression, not at my computer to check) now this is a very strange situation because I haven't changed the way I format my images sense upgrading to 4.3 but during the app validation process I received an error telling me that my Icon.png wasn't 57x57 when it clearly was. I looked up how to solve this and turning off image compression was the fix... Which apparently made the icon show up in organizer too.... Weird.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I had the exact same problem. Intrigued by your statement about xcode-select I first tried:

xcode-select -print-path

Which resulted in:

/Developer

Which is obviously wrong. So I first closed Xcode and then:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

After I restarted XCode all the icons were back in the Organiser.

So thank you for pointing me in the right direction! But I realize it is probably not the solution for you. Hopefully others may benefit!

Answer 6

You may be mistaken on icon file name. Check if the name of icon file is "Icon.png" .... not "icon.png" Not "ICON.PNG" not "icon.Png". In my case it was "icon.png" I changed it to "Icon.png" and the problem got resolved.
