iOS7 requires new images for the icons and launch image and Xcode now provides a new way of validating that you have all of the required images.<\/p>\n
Just to see what Xcode would do, I created a new app from scratch and looked at the images it requires.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I then took a look at what an existing app looks like. The first thing I noticed is that I forgot to include the 100×100 iPad retina image. Then I noticed that the last four launch images are the same as the ones that I already have. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I manually added the Portrait Non-Retina and it automatically found the retina version. Then I added the Landscape Non-Retina and it found the retina. I looked in the .plist for the app and Xcode had added lines for the new files. Since I have over 20 apps I didn\u2019t want to repeat this 20 or more times so I right-clicked on the file, opened the .plist as source, then copied the following lines.<\/p>\n
\n<key>UILaunchImages~ipad<\/key>\n <array>\n <dict>\n <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion<\/key>\n <string>7.0<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageName<\/key>\n <string>Default-Landscape<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageOrientation<\/key>\n <string>Landscape<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageSize<\/key>\n <string>{768, 1024}<\/string>\n <\/dict>\n <dict>\n <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion<\/key>\n <string>7.0<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageName<\/key>\n <string>Default-Portrait<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageOrientation<\/key>\n <string>Portrait<\/string>\n <key>UILaunchImageSize<\/key>\n <string>{768, 1024}<\/string>\n <\/dict>\n <\/array>\n<\/code><\/pre>
\nI pasted these lines into the same place in each of the .plists.<\/p>\nWhile I was at it, I added a line to my pre-iOS7 images list for the file I forgot to include. That section now looks like this:
\n
\n <key>CFBundleIconFiles<\/key>\n <array>\n <string>Icon.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small@2x.png<\/string>\n <\/array>\n<\/code><\/pre><\/p>\nI then used Xcode to add the new images. (Note: As far as I can tell, you can name them anything you want. I followed a logical extension of the old rules.) I used the same image for Spotlight iPad Retina and iPhone Retina (80×80) so I name it Icon-402x.png.
\nXcode added an iPad section to the .plist. The .plist now looks like this:
\n
\n<key>CFBundleIconFiles<\/key>\n <array>\n <string>Icon-40<\/string>\n <string>Icon-iPhone-60<\/string>\n <string>Icon.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small@2x.png<\/string>\n <\/array>\n <key>CFBundleIconFiles~ipad<\/key>\n <array>\n <string>Icon-40<\/string>\n <string>Icon-iPad-76<\/string>\n <string>Icon-iPhone-60<\/string>\n <string>Icon.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-72@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small-50@2x.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small.png<\/string>\n <string>Icon-Small@2x.png<\/string>\n <\/array>\n<\/code><\/pre><\/p>\nXcode has a new folder type for Asset Catalogs.
