when I try to submit the app

Missing App Store Icon. iOS Apps must include a 1024x1024px App Store Icon in PNG format. Without providing the icon in the Asset Catalog or via iTunes Connect, apps cannot be submitted for App Review or Beta App Review

I'm providing App Store Icon with 1024px*1024px PNG format in iTunes Connect but still getting this error

    if you are using xcode 9. New icon is added which needs to be updated in xcode. refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46406686/xcode9-warning-items-90704-error-itms-90022 – Amod Gokhale Oct 28 '17 at 08:36

In Xcode, they have added one additional app icon size with 1024px * 1024pxenter image description here

Go to Assets.xcassets and you can find this new addition at the bottom of your app icon image set.

Once you add app icon with 1024pt, it should fix the issue.

As stated here we need to add one more icon, called 1024x1024px App Store Icon. Create a png icon of resolution 1024x1024.

Go to Project General Setting Tab

enter image description here

Click on No. 4 which opens the app icon sets. The following section will be visible.

enter image description here

Scroll down and you will see the App Store iOS icon set.

enter image description here

Preferably add the icon inside "AppIcon.appiconset" folder.

enter image description here

you can locate the folder by clicking the folder icon next to "Identity and Type" on the right side of your icon selection screen.

This should fix the issue.

  • PS: If png format didn't work, use the image as jpg. For me, it was jpg that worked. Cheers!!! – 2xSamurai Nov 06 '17 at 16:37
  • Strangely, I did this, and it passed the build, and sent it to itunes connect. When it is "ready to submit" on testflight, I add a group and hit submit, and I get this error AGAIN!? – VDog Nov 11 '17 at 09:29
  • I went through the illustrated steps and it worked, but i did show the icon already existed in the location. – Kinglish Dec 01 '17 at 19:56
  • Also, I found that despite telling me that my binaries were rejected (or whatever the missing icon error message was), they were all waiting for me in iTunes connect - to attach to my app submission, so I'm unsure if those were actual errors or warnings. – Kinglish Dec 01 '17 at 20:10
  • @JohnTyner, I'm not sure. For me, the icon was missing (means there was no 1024px resolution icon in the folder) in the location. So I manually saved an icon to that folder and selected it as the "1x App Store iOS 1024pt" icon. And my errors went away. This is so strange, different people are getting different issues. Don't know why. My app was a hybrid one. What is your's, native or hybrid? – 2xSamurai Dec 03 '17 at 04:55
  • @2xSamurai - Cordova (ionic) hybrid – Kinglish Dec 03 '17 at 06:00
  • @JohnTyner, Hey I'm also using ionic. Ionic 1.3.2. Which version are you using? Maybe I can help. Also please post the error message you are getting. You are able to get it to build successfully and also make an archive and upload it to iTunes connect right. – 2xSamurai Dec 03 '17 at 08:06
  • Mine was already there. phuckin' rotten Apple. messes up my versioning ALL the time…now that this version is on the store, i can't use it but nor can you delete it. Forcing me to compile it again with a newer version number. You would think the richest company in the world would have better products. Developing for iPhone sux! – rolinger Mar 23 '18 at 21:08
  • Is there any way to add this to an existing archive? Or do I have to re-archive and re-upload? – Andrew May 22 '18 at 20:59

    @Andrew I archive it again after making the changes. You can modify the archive I guess. Try this thread - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32447866/is-it-possible-to-change-the-build-no-after-archive-an-ios-project – 2xSamurai May 23 '18 at 05:51

You need to include additional icon of 1024x1024pt size in Assets.xcassets.

Please find the below steps.

1) Go to Assets.xcassets.
2) Drag and drop the icon of 1024*1024pt in App Store iOS 1024pt field of Assets.xcassets.

For more information please find the below GIF representation.

Demonstarte of adding the icon in the xcassets

Hope it works!!!

I'll quote just what Claude31 said here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/90543

May be useless question, but have you check the exact size of png image (in finder information) ?

In my case, the client sent an image to me called xxxx1024x1024.png, and the real size was 4000 x 4000. So, if you didn't create the image, is worth checking it.

I found the problem my by chance. After doing tests with different types of .pn file "with transparency" and "without transparency" in neither of the two chaos worked for me. The problem was in the name that I put the collection in the App-Icon, the name had a "tilde" accent. I removed the accent and apple validated the compilation.

    It seems this is a comment but you are using the "answer" section for that, which is wrong. It seems some other folks here have done the same. Please use comments sections for this purpose. – Ibo Nov 28 '17 at 23:21

With Xcode 12 you can have a Swift UI app that gives you this error ONLY for the MacOS version but NOT for the iOS version when you submit for review.

The trick is to add the Mac App icon images and sizes to the Images.xcassets folder as well as TAG that folder in the Attributes panel with 'Mac OS'. For some reason that's turned off.

Doing that will allow your Mac OS app to be ACCEPTED for 'review'.

Hope that helps someone. I've almost spent two days chasing this one down.

Per the message you get from XCode you can also do this from App Store Connect after the fact.

App Store Connect Operation Warning

My Apps > Prepare for Submission > App Store Icon > Select image. App Store Connect - select image Has to be 1024x1024px png with no alpha channels or transparencies.

More info here.

2xSamurai's answer is a preferred longer term solution to avoid repeatedly doing this.

My solution was to not use 'â' in the App Icon group name.

1-)Xcode 9.4.1 open and open a new project.

2-)Create new assets catalog.

3-)fill in the required icons correctly.

4-)This AppIcon catalog right click and show in finder,open AppIcon.appiconset folder and copy all things in folder.

5-)Open old project,old project AppIcon catalog right click and show in finder and open folder delete all things.

6-)Paste in the folder you copied.

7-)Clean, Build Project and Archive.

And Succesfully Upload App Store.

Try to add the an image 1024 X 1024 and rename it to "icon-1024.png" on the app/App_Resources/iOS/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/ and add the json below to app/App_Resources/iOS/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/Contents.json

    {
          "size" : "1024x1024",
          "idiom" : "ios-marketing",
          "filename" : "icon-1024.png",
          "scale" : "1x"
    }

For me is work

My issue actually came from the Development Assets. My Assets folder directory was in this spot and caused the issue because on build it was ignoring this folder. AppName -> General -> (Target Column) AppName -> Development Assets. Make sure your files are not in there like mine was!

I had a hybrid iOS/macOS project, that started off as an iOS project. I had a lot of icons in my AppIcon image set, including a 1024 one. I checked if it was shared among all targets, and it was.

In the end, I sent my 1024 to https://www.appicon.co, and checked iPhone/iPad and macOS, and got many more icons than before, including a 1x and a 2x AppStore icon.

This time, it went through without any issues.

A giveaway is, that when you select a build in the AppStoreConnect, and your latest build is showing a generic icon, something is wrong.
