It doesn't make sense because I used the same exact icon in one of my apps and it shows as in retina. Please share any suggestions.

Your retina image should be named [email protected] Your code should call on 'image.png' and let the system figure out if it needs the retina image or not. Make sure both regular and retina images are correctly added to the project. When you're speaking about Tab Bar icons, remember they can't have color information, they're only greyscale. If your retina image isn't quite right, it will use the regular image in place of it. Cheers! -- Smug Comments just the basics... Your image should be named 'image.png'.

Regular or @2X because @2x is 60 by 60 and doesn't fit the iPhone. Thanks, Adam Comments So which one do I type in on my server in the layout section?

Adam Aspiring developer Posts: 247 Reg: Oct 23, 2010 Southern Califo... 4,470	09/01/13 03:30 PM (10 years ago) Niraj, Put .png and @2X.png in the BT_Images folder in Xcode. Upload the .png file on your server (No need for @2X.png on server). Then, it will show up in retina if your device is retina. That should work. Tell me if you need any help.
