A quick-and-dirty way is to paste the icons directly into Otto.app. Ctrl click to Show Package Contents.

3. Re: director 12 IOS publishing icon plist
ok!!! it worked!!! after copying my icons into the package of "otto.app" and renaming them to projector_72x72.png and projector_57x57.png, i got the result after itunes copy procedure on the ipad: the icons are showing up!
as soon as i have the complete precedure, i will write down a short tutorial for all the poor guys here with the same problem to generate a apple store compatible info.plist with the icons, splashscreen and other important infos for bringing the app into the store etcpp.

Editing a separate info.plist to reference your app icons is actually a better approach than altering the defaults within Otto.app.
The procedure is simple:
Put your unique app icons in the same folder as your Director file. You can name these icons whatever you wish, or name them the same as the defaults in Otto.app, i.e. "projector_72x72.png" and "projector_57x57.png", or you can give them unique names.
Copy the info.plist file to the same folder as your Director file.
If you have given your icons unique names, open the info.plist file in Xcode and find the "Icon files" key. Edit "Item 0" and change the entry to the name of the 72x72 pixel png icon. Edit "Item 1" and change the entry to the name of the 57x57 pixel png icon.
Save the info.plist file.
Within Director, open Publish Settings and in the "Files" tab, enable "Copy linked and dependent files." Click on "Add Dependent Files" and navigate to the folder with your unique icons. Select each one and make sure that the radio button is checked for each one.
In the iOS tab, select the "Info Plist Path" option and navigate to the location of your edited info.plist. Select the info.plist file in the dialog box and click "Choose."
Publish your iOS app and test. The icons should now have been embedded within your iOS app bundle.
You may be able to put the icons in an "images" folder within your app folder structure, but you will still have to use the "Copy linked and dependent files" and "Add Dependent Files" options to have that folder and the icons bundled within your iOS app.
If you intend to develop apps for the app store, you may need additional icons at larger sizes.
and for icons:
