iPhone App Icon Doesn’t appear on iPhone, works in Simulator

If your iPhone App icon isn’t appearing on your phone, but works fine on the simulator, it may be a problem with the way you’ve saved your Icon.png file:

I had this problem, until I chose to “show” the extension of the Icon.png file when I saved it from within Preview. Once I’d done this, re-saved the image and added it back to the project, the Icon appeared on the phone! Bizarre, but it works!

Yeah, I’ve had this happen when saving the png using “Save as…” in Photoshop. Try using “Save for web and devices” instead. Works every time.

Thank you so much, you’ve saved me hours of time trying to figure out what was wrong with my images!
