Problem with new icon sizes for iOS 7 while submiting to App-Store

[Guest]

Hi,

I have compiled my AIR app which includes the new icon sizes required for iOS 7 (76x76, 120x120, 152x152 and the Spotlight search result icons 40x40 and 80x80) from the command line using AIR 3.9. Here's the icon section from my app descriptor XML:

<icon>

        <image29x29>icons/icon29x29.png</image29x29>

        <image48x48>icons/icon48x48.png</image48x48>

        <image57x57>icons/icon57x57.png</image57x57>

        <image72x72>icons/icon72x72.png</image72x72>

        <image114x114>icons/icon114x114.png</image114x114>

        <image512x512>icons/icon512x512.png</image512x512>

        <image58x58>icons/icon58x58.png</image58x58>

        <image144x144>icons/icon144x144.png</image144x144>

        <!-- Additional app icons for iOS 7 -->

        <image40x40>icons/icon40x40.png</image40x40>

        <image76x76>icons/icon76x76.png</image76x76>

        <image80x80>icons/icon80x80.png</image80x80>

        <image120x120>icons/icon120x120.png</image120x120>

        <image152x152>icons/icon152x152.png</image152x152>

  </icon>

App(.ipa) is installed and running fine in all the all the devices(Ipad,IPhone).While submiting the same app to Apple-App-Store with app-store provision profile, I got three warnings.Those are as follows:

1) WARNING ITMS-9000: "Missing recommended icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage).

2) WARNING ITMS-9000: "Missing recommended icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '76x76' pixels, in .png format." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage).

3) WARNING ITMS-9000: "Missing recommended icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '152x152' pixels, in .png format." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage).

Can someone help me?

Are you using the latest 3.9 build? As far as I know this was fixed?

[Guest]

Yes, I have used AIR 3.9 latest version.

[Phillip_Vessey]

From another topic it seems you have to use the 790 build.

Thank you very much! Problem Solved with this new version of Air 3.9.0.790

Which version of AIR SDK you're using Rajib_magic?

AIR 3.9.1.1080

[Pahup]

Ah, you're not using latest, this build was uploaded few weeks back, please use latest AIR SDK version 3.9.0.960. Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Could you say which one is latest "3.9.0.960" or "3.9.1.1080" version?

[Pahup · Accepted solution]

3.9.0.960, which was uploaded recently.

Ok,, I will do it by latest version.

I just want to confirm that the structure of XML for Icon tag is correct?

[Pahup]

yes.

Thanks a lot for your suport.My app successfully submitted on the Apple-App-Store

I use the latest Air Version 3.9.0.960 with Flash CC to publish my Apps. I can´t see an option to add the new Icons sizes (76x76, 120x120, 152x152) inside the Flash CC Settings - so I added them manually to the XML File.

         <!-- Additional app icons for iOS 7 -->

         <image76x76>icons/icon76x76.png</image76x76>

         <image120x120>icons/icon120x120.png</image120x120>

         <image152x152>icons/icon152x152.png</image152x152>

When I publish the AIR App for iOS the new Icons are removed /overwritten in the XML File.

Why can´t I add these new Icons (sizes) just like the other ones inside the Flash CC Settings (Air for iOS)?

What do I have to do to add them at the moment?

[Colin Holgate]

In the version of Flash you’re using you will have to do the publish from the command line.

[dasessig]

Hi colin, can you please show / tell me how to do that?

I am using flash cc and followed your steps with no success. When is this going to be fixed?

[Colin Holgate]

What problems do you hit? One thing to watch for is whether there are spaces in the file paths. If you have spaces, like:

myfolder/app folder/app name.swf

you need to put a back slash in front of any spaces:

myfolder/app\ folder/app\ name.swf

I'm using Flash CS6, and just grabbed the new 3.9.0.960 AIR SDK.

I still can't see the new iOS7 icon sizes listed under the 'icons' tab when going to publish, are they meant to be there yet?

I'm using a Windows PC (so can't use the Xcode trick), and am waiting to submit my App to Apple.

[Colin Holgate]

You can still use the command line to do the build. I'm just not able to tell you what the Windows steps are to get the line that is used. I gather that Event Viewer ought to be able to get the line, but I found it too confusing to figure out.

As for the icons not being in Flash, that's true, and is still true in Flash CC. It's a known issue and is being worked on. I am pretty sure that they won't do an update to CS6, so be mentally prepared to either use the command line, or to upgrade to Flash CC, when that gets updated to solve the icon problem.

[Guest]

Thanks for the reply, but Wow that is disappointing if Adobe aren't also updating CS6 to be natively ios7 icon compatible, can't understand that really.

CC has only been out since June, and CS6 is the previous version that many people are still using.

Really hope Adobe consider it's Customers in relation to this.

Is there somewhere I can raise this with Adobe?

[Femi_Awosile]

If you still having problems with the command line I can write out for you. It is very straight forward or I can do a quick video for you to watch on YouTube .

[Colin Holgate]

The format of the command line isn’t so tricky, the problem is making sure that all of your included files are listed, with the right paths. With 3 - 5 screenshots, 18 icons, plus whatever other external files and folders your app requires, it ends up being quite a complex line. That’s why I copy the line from Console, I know for sure that it wrote the line correctly, other than where there are spaces in the path names.

[Guest]

Any word from Adobe as to when the 3.9 Beta version will be released that supports the new ios7 icons natively for Publish?

We are waiting on submitting Apps to Apple, and using a command line isn't really good enough, especially seeing ios7 has been live for a few weeks now already.
