Adding a Sidebar Icon to my FinderSync extension

Question

I'm developing a FinderSync extension based on the following documentation:

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Finder.html

I'm failing to add a sidebar icon.

I've followed the steps: Created the .iconset folder and filled it with the requested PNGs. Added the folder to my info.plist etc.

But I don't see any icon in the sidebar on my monitored folders.

Context menu, toolbar button and badges works fine.

What could I be missing? Is there any limitation that the documentation fails to mention? Anything tricky with step 4?

Answer 1

Apparently its indeed extremely important to obey Apple's constraints regarding the icons: they must be

"monochromatic images that are drawn just using black and transparency"

To my surprise, when a designer gave me pngs that complied with the mentioned above, everything worked like a charm.

Please comment if you encounter any other difficulty, as the documentation is very lacking.
