How do I make my Icon appear on my IOS PhoneGap app when I export it for adhoc distribution?

Question

I have an app that an iOS app that I am creating using PhoneGap. When I send it to my iPad for Ad-hoc distribution, the app icon and splash screen that I created do not appear. How do I get them to appear on my app?

Answer 1

I assume you are developing for iOS 7?

Adding <icon> entries to your config.xml or editing the *-Info.plist file did not do it for me on iOS 7 using Cordova 3.1.0.

I had the same issue and solved it by using an Asset Catalog, a new feature in XCode 5 for managing images and icons. This guide from the iOS Developer Library shows how to migrate your icons and splash screens to an asset catalog.

Answer 2

I usually do this in Xcode, not Phonegap.

1. Open Xcode
2. Open your .codeproj file
3. Inside Xcode, open the file /Resources/-Info.plist

There you can see which icons and splash screens are being loaded into the proyect and change the values and/or the default icons.
