iPhone App Icon

Each app gets an icon for the home screen that's 57 x 57 pixels. Note that the iPhone automatically creates a beveled edge and adds a glossy finish (unless you specify otherwise; see below). Create the file as a PNG and add it the project. Next, add a line in the plist file for "Icon file", specifying the file name (less the extension) as the value. To disable the automatic border and gloss, add an additional line for "Icon already includes gloss and bevel effects", checking the box.

To get the finished icon to appear, you might need to clean the targets (Build > Clean All Targets).
