I just got my game approved by apple.... yay! and my wife downloaded it but the icon on her phone has no picture. where do i submit the picture for the app icon
@polimerjones It is too late to submit an icon if an icon was not submitted at approval stage and it is now approved. I am surprised Apple approved an app without an icon.
If you want to add an icon you need to add it in iTunesConnect and also when you publish the app thru GS. You will have to create an new version of the app and submit it for approval.
i did submit a picture for the section that says "large app icon" and its there in the itunes connect section. is this not it? if it is why is it not showing up on the phone?
no but you know whats even weirder. while the game is downloading and installing i can see the icon image just fine. but when its done it turns grey....
@polimerjones There may be an error with the file. I would re-export the files and try them again. I think that the GS build installs the icon in the build and the iTunesconnect icon is used by iTunes. So that maybe where a conflict is occurring and why you are seeing this effect - one file may be corrupt. I would do a rebuild with a new icon image but of course this means you need to do a new version. Please if you want me to respond type @lycettebros in the message so I get a notification. thanks.
It is not really stupid just an oversight - it could even be a weakness in the visual interface. There many details that can be overlooked in the whole publishing process.
My app was rejected because of this....I thought it was optional for the GS arcade submission....doh ! I'm re publishing today and go back for review...luckily that was my only rejection issue.
