83.5x83.5@2x app icon is required for iPad apps targeting iOS 9.0 and later

Question

Just saw this warning after upgrading to Xcode 7.2. Why is this warning appearing all of a sudden with 7.2/9.2? I'm guessing this is for iPad Pro support? Does this just mean 167x167 since it's at 2x ?

EDIT: I do see that (now in Xcode 7.2) there is a space for this (iPad Pro) icon in the asset catalog under General/App Icons and Launch Images

EDIT: Is it possible to turn off this warning? e.g. if there is no intention to target iPad Pro?

Notice the "pt", that is points, not pixels. Can't wait to see 83.3333333... pt for 3x. Or perhaps Jony is off his meds. — zaph, Dec 08 '15 at 22:16
After adding the new image to the image set the error message is still showing. It goes away when you build or run. — RobertL, Jan 24 '16 at 03:25

This is for the iPad Pro. The image should be 167x167 pixels. This will display on both the 9.7" and 12.9" iPad Pro at 264 pixels per inch.

OK thanks, but I'm not clear what you mean by 72 PPI as well. – Bradley Thomas Dec 10 '15 at 14:38
Reason I ask is that the iPad Pro will display images at 264 ppi – Bradley Thomas Dec 10 '15 at 14:46
The file name is important? – Arnold Roa Dec 22 '15 at 18:24
@ArnoldRoa No, the initial file name is not important. It will change the name during installation – Dylan Ireland Dec 22 '15 at 18:25
