App Icon shows fine in Simulator, but when running on iPhone, Launch Image is shown as icon instead of the desired icon

Question

my app icon shows fine in the IOS simulator and the launch image is displayed too. However, when I run the app on my iPhone 4, it shows the launch image as the app icon.

If I delete the .plist value for the launch image, this seems to resolve the problem for running on the iPhone. But should I be doing this?

Is there some setting I need to change on my phone? I have tried cleaning the project to no avail-- only deleting the plist Default.png value seems to fix the issue and I am not comfortable doing this because I figure xcode must copy it there for a reason.

System Details:

IOS 5.1 Xcode 4.3.3 (was a problem with 4.3.2 too though) iPhone 4

Thanks.

Answer 1

Is your icon named Icon.png (and its associated Icon@2x.png, etc.)? This is the required name for iPhone apps according to the Apple documentation .
