Fixing Missing Icon For Archived Applications in Xcode Organizer

, by Patrick. Filed under Development. 4 Comments

Tonight I noticed that my archived builds in Xcode all had a “?” icon instead of their regular icons. It turns out, to get the Organizer to show the icons, you need to have them specified in your application’s Info.plist in the Icon Files section, like so:

Now when you do a build and archive, you’ll get the nice icon showing up in the Organizer. The Icon Files section of the Info.plist is covered by Apple Technical Q&A QA1686.

  1. I had to define “Icon file” in info.plist to get the icon to appear in Organizer. However, I’d rather not have to do this since Apple instructs us to leave that item blank (QA1686).

    Is there another way to define the icon to be shown in Organizer?

  4. Thanks for the article mate, just to mention that you need iTunesArtwork in order to get the icon on the organiser if you are using xCode 4.3.2

    Cheers
