I am developing iPhone app. When i run the app on iPhone i can see the the icon on Home screen. But when i run the same app on iPad whitish icon appears which normally appears when the app has no icon.

I have tested my other iPhone apps they are working fine but this is causing trouble. I used Asset Catalogs to display app icons and they are perfectly adjusting in it. What could be the problem here any suggestions?

  • If you added the iPad icons after the first install, you may uninstall it from the iPad and install it again. – Larme Jan 23 '14 at 10:13
  • I can only see three icons 120*120, 80*80, 58*58 not asking for iPad separate. i tried uninstalling cleaning app but still no use. – Hassy Jan 23 '14 at 10:19
  • Must we manually prepare icons of all sizes, and match the required sizes precisely? – Chong Lip Phang Mar 21 '18 at 13:11

I also initially started with developing the app for iPhone and then needed to add iPad icons and here where I found them:

1) go to Assets 2) find appIcon (usually on top) 3) go to attributes inspector 4) choose iPad ios swift version 5) iPad iCons holders will appear you will need to fill them

    This fixed it for me. I had added icons, then i went and made my app universal, but when i went back to AppIcons it was not showing the iTablet stuff. This was the issue, in attributes section i had to select iPad. – Noitidart Jun 13 '17 at 02:44

xCode 5 was not showing anything related to iPad for an iPhone only app. So when i migrated my images to Assets Catalogs and clicked on app icon in the Attribute Inspector i was given the options like i want to give icons for iPad. So i provided and problem solved :)

  • to extend the accepted answer, make sure the app icons are not manufactured as png. Even if you convert the jpg to png and run it in device, then it won't work in the device even if it does in simulator. That was my terrible experience. – Deepak Thakur Feb 26 '15 at 08:32
  • png is fine, and here are some more characters. – Paul Bruneau Oct 18 '16 at 14:28

In project settings there are fields for both, iPad and iPhone icons. You may want to provide different icons for different devices, so try providing your icon for both, iPad and iPhone. Even though it will be the same image.

  • Did you try cleaning build folder? Hold ALT and perform project clean. In my case, i can modify icons for both, iphone and ipad (using xCode 5) – avuthless Jan 23 '14 at 10:29
  • I am also using xCode5. I tried using cleaning using alt + simple clean. If your app is iphone only it will not display iPad resolution icons – Hassy Jan 23 '14 at 10:32
  • Do you have "Images.xcassets" folder in your project? If so - click it and look if there are more icon options to choose. – avuthless Jan 23 '14 at 10:35

for Universal application iPad Icon file size is 72x72 and named Icon-72 and for Retina its 114x114 with Icon-72@2x.png. Try to include this files into your resource bundle and then build your app

In my case i do have set images for iPad in my assets but even then it was not showing. I have to check Target Membership check box. I had imported AppIcons folder and this got uncheck. Target Selection

Hope the stackoverflow link will help How do you update the app icons and launch images to support IOS 6 and 7 simultaneously?

As answered by Andy Bean, try using Asset Catalog.
