App icon size for new iOS

Question

I realize that iOS 7 is not out yet and should not be discussed but I could not find the answer to this question anywhere and iOS 7 comes out in a few days.

I submitted my app for iOS 7 and I got a warning saying I am missing the icon size 120 X 120 which apparently is the new standard size for icons in iOS 7. What I don't understand is what I should name this icon because my app supports both iOS 6 (Default app icon size is 114 X 114) and iOS 7.

Does anyone know how I should name this 120 X 120 icon for iOS 7 and my old iOS 6 icon that was 114 X 114?

Thanks!

I thought retina icons were 114px, not 116 as you say. Also, couldn't you find anything in Apple's developer forums? — Nicolas Miari, Sep 16 '13 at 02:01
@NicolasMiari my mistake I fixed the 114. and If I had, I would not be asking here :) — Teddy13, Sep 16 '13 at 02:02
I see... just can't believe no one asked yet. There must be a million people with the same issue these days ;) — Nicolas Miari, Sep 16 '13 at 02:55

It doesn't matter what you name the file as long as you hook it up correctly in Targets General Tab. You just click the Folder icon and select the file you want to use. The naming convention only really mattered because that was what was in the info.plist by default for a new project.

enter image description here

And the Targets General Tab realy just sets values in the app's info.plist

Note: I have a build setting ICON_SUFFIX = "Beta" so my beta release via TestFlight has a different bundle ID and Icon so it sits along side my app store version and doesn't over write it.

Thanks I just hooked it up. However, I still get the warning when I archive the project regarding the 120 X 120 icon. Its named 120.png but you claim naming has no effect if it is hooked up right. Any other suggestions? Thanks – Teddy13 Sep 16 '13 at 02:39
Next check that image is part of the project and in the copy build phase so that it gets bundled with the app. – GayleDDS Sep 16 '13 at 04:34

You can also use one asset catalog to organise your icon images, it's quite easy.If there is one image asset catalog, you use that one, otherwise you can new one. then select Use Asset Catalog in the App Icons part of General tab, you need to prepare the following image size and just drag the images to the corresponding location.

The icon sizes for iPhone and iPad for iOS 5~7 screenshot is as below:

Seems obvious, but since I didn't get the sizing at first: The "2x" slot for 20pt needs a 40x40 pixel image, the "1x" needs a 20x20 etc. Compare [this answer to a similiar question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28170520/ios-how-to-set-app-icon-and-launch-images#32136202). – vlz Oct 05 '17 at 16:43
