I tried using a different computer and it still appears. Is that what rob is referring to? Comments When I uploaded the apps icon there is a glow/glare in the top half of it.

rgtichy Lost but trying Posts: 104 Reg: Oct 14, 2011 Barrington 1,040	02/13/12 03:46 PM (13 years ago) yes, there is an arc across the icon and the top ~half is behind a sheen of transparent white like light from a window. I also had noticed that not every app on my iPad had an icon with this trait.

Here is how it's done: - in Xcode find the BT_info.plist in the BT_Config folder - now you need to ADD this item as it doesn't already exist, so... - go to Editor>Add Item - name the new item UIPrerenderedIcon - set Type to String - set the value to YES Rebuild and voila you have a flat icon!
