Having read Apple's numerous documentation on icon guidelines: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconsImages/IconsImages.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH14-SW2 http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/App-RelatedResources/App-RelatedResources.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH6-SW1 http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1686/_index.html

I was wondering if it was possible to have a newsstand icon and a standalone icon. I have my icons setup inside the info.plist (Primary Icon and Newsstand Icon for my iOS 5 only app), however, when I build my project, I'm only seeing my cover icon in the newsstand folder. I see the Guardian app has them both, so am I missing something else?

Edit: Added screenshot enter image description here

  • Although the icon files are in the assets/icons group, they are physically in the root (same as main.m). – elprl Apr 06 '12 at 17:39

This is working for my Newsstand application

Plist file

Make sure you have the same entries added in plist file.

  • I've edited my post to add a screenshot showing my files and plist. Can you see anything I'm doing wrong as I'm still not seeing a standalone icon. – elprl Apr 06 '12 at 17:37
  • "I'm only seeing my cover icon in the newsstand folder" what is is your cover icon ? – msk Apr 06 '12 at 18:09
  • I'm seeing the correct ns_icon in the newsstand folder. I'm just not seeing any other icon outside the newsstand folder. – elprl Apr 06 '12 at 21:28

    What do you mean by "not seeing any other icon outside the newsstand folder". NS application has ns_icon to show by default in newsstand folder. The newsstand application is ONLY available in Newsstand folder so there is nothing you see outside of that. The other icon in this case may be iused for spotlight search or something else. Also note later when some issue is downloaded you should change newsstand icon with the cover of issue downloaded. – msk Apr 07 '12 at 05:10
  • "The newsstand application is ONLY available in Newsstand folder so there is nothing you see outside of that." So that looks like the answer to my question "I was wondering if it was possible to have a newsstand icon and a standalone icon". Looks like it is not possible then. I saw that the Guardian app has a separate icon to the newsstand cover icon, so I presumed it was allowed. However, I'm thinking it's a different app now. Thanks for your response anyway. – elprl Apr 08 '12 at 19:43
