How to turn off icon gloss effect in Xcode 5

Question

I'm making app and I'm try to turn off icon gloss effect. Earlier in Xcode 4 it was able to turn off icon gloss effect by turn on "Prerenderred" checkbox. Now when i want to use Assets catalog i have to edit .plist file. And i did it. I add key Icon already includes gloss effects and set to YES but effect is still on icon. How to disable this effect correctly in new Xcode?

Thank you in advance.

Irrespective of the fact that you're talking about a iOS release that's covered by an NDA, the fact that it's a *developer preview* means that it's by no means complete, so the fact that certain things aren't working shouldn't be a surprise. Please check the Apple discussion forum for information on this issue. — John Parker, Aug 12 '13 at 12:33
No worries - the forums are back up now, so it's worth checking to see if this is a known issue/whether there are workarounds. — John Parker, Aug 12 '13 at 12:37

The answer is pretty simple when you use .xcassets (Assets). What you have to do is to select your AppIcon collection and on the right pane (Inspector) select Pre-rendered icon. and that's it.

this worked for me in iOS 7. But when i start in iOS 6.0.1 (3gs) my app icon stay with a black corner. How to solve it? – Juan Munhoes Junior Feb 12 '14 at 15:06
Not enough upvotes in the world for this. I was going through all the old Info.plist methods and pulling my hair out. For @JuanMunhoesJunior (I'm sure you figured it out), but clear your build folder. – rob5408 Feb 22 '14 at 04:04

Just as Tomasz Szulc described:

In the Project Navigator, Click on project name
In the App Icons section, press Use Asset Catalog
Click import
Click on the small arrow next to the combo box
In the Attribute Inspector, check iOS icon is pre-rendered

Hope that helps.

Try to remove the icon from the simulator, clean the build, and try once again to run.
