iPhone Simulator Icon Black

I have two Icon files in my plist: icon.png [email protected]

Both are added to my project, added to the target and are 57x57 and 114x114 pixels respectively, both 72 dpi.

They are both pngs generated from a .svg.

I filled out the transparency with white. The rest of the coloring is black.

I have tried deleting the app, clearing derived data and re-running.

Why is this icon showing a black square in the iPhone 6 simulator?

EDIT: Tried renaming to capital I in Icon.png and [email protected]. Wiped app, wiped derived data, clean, still no dice.

The iPhone 6 simulator doesn't support icons, because the iPhone 6 doesn't exist. – brynbodayle
I believe that refers to iOS6 on iPhone, not "iPhone 6" – quantumpotato
Ended up making a new icon in Photoshop. @pedro gave a good answer though so I marked as correct. – quantumpotato
The "i" in icon should be capital. – Mick MacCallum
@NSPostWhenIdle , you are correct. That still didn't fix the issue though, it was something with exporting from Illustrator. – quantumpotato

Try the following:

1 - On the simulator remove your app just like you delete an app on an iPhone.

2 - On xcode go to the menu Product and click Clean. (Or the shortcut Shift+Command+K)

3 - Try to run again.

edit: When you open the png's on your computer do they actually show the white?

So I was having the same problem and found this old thread. In my case the issue turned out to be the alpha channel in the PNG icon. Specifically: my icon was black-on-transparent, so on the simulator with a black background it showed as black-on-black. I solved by opening in Preview and exporting with the "alpha" button turned off.
