ICONS

Since I do PHP code writing, I'm going to sit down and write a "GD" (no, that's NOT a naughty word) routine to make the following sized icons. Take the largest and output all the smaller. I derived this list from Xcode. I haven't yet gone to hack for the finite list of Android Icons. Does this list pretty much match up with your experience with Android? 29 , 29 40 , 40 57 , 57 58 , 58 72 , 72 76 , 76 80 , 80 100 , 100 114 , 114 120 , 120 144 , 144 152 , 152 320 , 480 640 , 960 640 , 1136 768 , 1004 768 , 1024 1024 , 748 1024 , 768 1536 , 2008 1536 , 2048 2048 , 1496 2048 , 1536

That looks way better than what I was going to whip out, quick and dirty! That page will be my after dinner project! THANKS for reading, and writing!

I lied. I fiddled with it before dinner! Wowie, that was fast! My list had 23 iOS images, it came up with 28! Argh, Xcode still wants 13 more sizes! It's half-way there! At least I have a list of Android. Xcode Build-ed just fine, nonetheless. Things change so rapidly in this biz.

I found that one after the first site was short a few icons. I haven't tested makeappincon to see if they are a few fries short of a happy meal, also. I'd like one or the other to work, as I've never made round corners, beveled edges with PHP GD.

when you upload your app to the "App Store" (iOS) it rounds the corners for you.It is better to have a rounded icon.I have alot of links of templates you can use here: http://coffeineera.com/?page_id=2 Also makeappicon does all the sizes for you.It does the certain ones for android and certain ones for iOS.You really dont need all the sizes that they list but they would probably help with all the different types of phones,upgrades,etc.

Will do! Icons are a pain for developers, but interesting for users.

I'm not seeing that makeappicon makes the launcher folder icons. Nor does BT configuration data. BT does make the AppIcon.appiconset but not the LaunchImage.launchimage - unless I cant see the trees for the forest in the App Icon menu.

Since I can't upload images, there's really no way for me to respond to your response. I know you get points for replying, but... (name of project)_iOS.zip > (name of project) > Images.xcassets > AppIcon.appiconset Based on the App Icon we set in the Control Panel Contents.json Icon-40.png [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Icon-72.png [email protected] Icon-76.png [email protected] Icon-Small-1.png Icon-Small-50.png [email protected] Icon-Small.png [email protected] [email protected] Icon.png [email protected] and _iOS.zip > (name of project) > Images.xcassets > LaunchImage.launchimage (all black - because I don't see where it asks us to upload the Launch Image. For me, right now, it would be the App Icon sized accordingly.) Contents.json Default-640-960-1.png Default-640-960.png Default-640-1136-1.png Default-640-1136.png Default-768-1004.png Default-1024-748.png Default-1024-768.png Default-1536-2008.png Default-1536-2048.png Default-2048-1496.png Default-2048-1536.png Default.png Default~ipad.png

Looks like I am still going to need to write a PHP GD script to make the inventory of correctly sized Icons myself. Looks like none of the on-line icon makers are keeping up to date with the changes in IOS and Android. This thread is in keeping with the http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=19D30ADB2A92E66A9CDF0C2 thread. There's so many changes with iOS and Android, for 3rd Parties to keep up with.

Which is half a loaf. If I need to do the LaunchImage.launchimage set, I might as well do the AppIcon.appiconset set. And, confirm the sizes, which might have changed with iOS 7, or the new iPhones/iPads.
