warning: iPad: Icon-72.png: icon dimensions (0 x 0)

Question

I got this problem: "warning: iPad: Icon-72.png: icon dimensions (0 x 0) don't meet the size requirements. The icon file must be 72x72 pixels, in .png format (-19014)" when build for archive the iPad only app. Have checked, my icon is 72x72 pixels. Also checked on info.plist file, the key CFBundleIconFiles already there. Before this have no problem to submit the app. After rejected by app review I want to resubmit (no changes has been made on my Xcode project) but the error appear. Does it because of I've upgraded to Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3? (I just update to Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 before resubmit the app).

Wonder why does the warning says "icon dimensions (0 x 0)".

Please help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

I installed Application Loader and the problem with Xcode got solved. Found the solution on Apple Developer forums here

Answer 2

I found a solution thanks to a forum post on the official developer forums.

1. click on your project in the tree view
2. choose the project
3. go to Build Settings
4. be sure to select All
5. search for PNG and set the value to NO

Seems to be a bug in Lion 10.7.3

Answer 3

Another solution, without installing Application Loader, is to set the File Type of all your icon files to "Icon" instead of PNG Image. This is done by selecting the Icon in Xcode and going to the File inspector panel.

Answer 4

Download new Application Loader and upload your app with it.

Answer 5

While the solution of turning off Compress PNG images does work, it is not a good solution as it then no longer compresses PNG images. While not the most useful feature ever, it is standard and does obfuscate your images in your ipa which is usually a good thing.

This issue started with 10.7.3, today. No real solution has yet been put forward (other than to build your submissions with 10.7.2 instead.)
