iOS: Old Tab Bar Icons showing

Question

So originally I made some custom tab bar icons that looked pretty neat, and I put them in my project. I recently just realized they look disgusting. So, I got some free tab bar icons and replaced the old ones. When the app loads, I at first see the old icons, then when the app is fully loaded I see my new icons. Now I don't want any user to see this. I then took action by permanently deleting the pictures not only from Xcode, but from my hard drive, which still did not fix the problem. I went to my DerivedData folder and emptied all my cache files. No success. This is a giant project and I don't want to have to make a new app, copy paste, make all the connections, and get all the frameworks again.

Answer 1

You said "when the app loads" you see the old icons. By any chance are you seeing this during load of the app, before it's actually usable, and as soon as the app becomes usable it's showing the new icons? I bet your default.png shows the old icons and you never updated it.
