Changing Icon in 1.5

Hi all, So I changed my Icon file for my project, redownloaded and recompiled. On the simulator it shows the new icon just fine, but when I compile the app onto my device for testing it shows my old ICON. I went through the entire project library and it does not contain the old icon file in any way. Has anyone ever seen this before? It's driving me bonkers. I even tried putting it on a device that had never had the app on it and it still shows the old icon.

Hi trafalger. Have you delete your app in the device befor you rebuilded the app again? You can delete the from the consol in xcode. I can get same problem sometimes. I hope it helps!

Yes I did, and just to make sure I tried it on a device that had never had the app installed on it. Same issue! Driving me nuts.

Trafalger, It's better to go into your source folder and find the files in the BT_Images and make note of the naming. I find the 114x114 icon for the iPhone4 is uprezed and sometimes a tad fuzzy. Resize your icon to the different sizes, delete them in Xcode and then drag the remade icons in and allow Xcode to copy the files to connect them to the project.

Ok I'll try that but the icon files in Xcode are the correct ones, somewhere it's pulling these phantom files.

I misunderstood what you were saying. If the wrong ones are showing, then there is an old version that is being loaded from some location. I have gone through something similar to that. Make sure there isn't a version in iTunes either, or generally it will revert to that version. Delete from all sources. Close Xcode, empty your trash, reload the project, recompile and load directly to your device or archive the app and make an ipa for distro.

How do you create an IPA? I know how to compile onto the device but is there a way I can make it generate a flat IPA?

Go to Apple and long into your developer account here >> http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action Go to iOS Provisioning Portal and click at the bottom of the list Distribution and go to the Ad Hoc tab and they give you the steps.

Yes, as long as you can get their UDID number and register it to the profile.

When you build a project out where does it put the IPA?

Did you follow the directions? You should have had a dialog window pop up and ask you, what would you like to name it and where would you like it saved. Try looking here. This is for 3.2, but it's pretty similar. http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2010/05/xcode-32-build-and-archive.html Remember, Google is your friend.
