83.5x83.5@2x app icon is required for iPad apps targeting iOS 9.0 and later

Question

Just saw this warning after upgrading to Xcode 7.2. Why is this warning appearing all of a sudden with 7.2/9.2? I'm guessing this is for iPad Pro support? Does this just mean 167x167 since it's at 2x ?

EDIT: I do see that (now in Xcode 7.2) there is a space for this (iPad Pro) icon in the asset catalog under General/App Icons and Launch Images

EDIT: Is it possible to turn off this warning? e.g. if there is no intention to target iPad Pro?

Answer 1

This is for the iPad Pro. The image should be 167x167 pixels. This will display on both the 9.7" and 12.9" iPad Pro at 264 pixels per inch.
