Change Icon of Target in XCode

Question

I noticed yesterday that my targets suddenly had icons (not the default A icon). However, I can't figure out what setting it was that changed it and it has now changed back to default. I changed all of the icon settings in the Info.plist, to no avail.

Answer 1

Did you add icon.png to the root folder of your project? I think that would do it.

Answer 2

To reset the targets icons

• try to find in the project all the images with the icon name from info.plist;
• check the files Target Membership (File Inspector section)

They don't have to be in the project root. If there're several icon files at different project folders, each icon is a member of it's own target, then you have different target icons with the same icon name (and naturally the only icon file is copied to the bundle root).

Answer 3

In the TARGET-info.plist, add the key Icon files (CFBundleIconFiles). The key "Icon files (iOS 5)" is not enough.

The value should be "icon.png" unless you have named your icon differently.
