📱 Missing Recommended Icon File - The Dreaded Error! 😱

So, you submitted an app update and you've received an email from Apple telling you about an error. The error reads:

Missing recommended icon file - The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format.

Don't worry, we'll walk you through this issue step by step and get your app back on track. 💪

💡 Understanding the Problem

First, let's understand what's going on here. Apple has specific requirements for app icons, and it seems that you've missed one for the iPhone / iPod Touch at a resolution of 120x120 pixels in .png format. But don't panic! We've got you covered.

🔍 Finding the Solution

To fix this issue, follow these simple steps:

1. Visit Apple's official documentation to see the current icon requirements.

   👉 Pro tip: Keep this documentation bookmarked for future reference. It's a handy resource for all your app development needs.

2. Double-check the requirements to ensure you're meeting all the necessary criteria. In this case, look for the 120x120 icon requirement.

   👉 Remember: The icon needs to be in the .png format and must have the exact dimensions mentioned.

3. Create an icon image with the dimensions specified (120x120 pixels) and save it in .png format.

   👉 Use software like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or other graphic editing tools to create and resize the icon as needed.

4. Rename the icon file to something like Icon-120.png to match the recommended naming convention.

   👉 Following naming conventions helps keep your project organized and makes it easier to locate specific files.

5. Add the icon file to the resource folder of your project.

   👉 Locate the resource folder in your project directory and copy the icon file into it.

6. Update the info.plist file in your project to reference the newly added icon.

   👉 Open the info.plist file and add an entry for the icon, specifying the correct file name and dimensions.

✅ Success Story

Here's a little anecdote to boost your motivation. One developer added the required icons to the resource folder but forgot to update the info.plist file. Surprisingly, their app passed the review process without any issues. Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn't it? 😉
