🔍 Finding the Solution
To fix this issue, follow these simple steps:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

file. Surprisingly, their app passed the review process without any issues. Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn't it? 😉
