Apple Connect: Even with the required icon of size 512x512@2x px, I receive a "Missing required icon"

Note: I read all the previous posts on this topic!

Context:

  • Mac Application
  • Xcode 9.4.1
  • Archiving to submit the app

I followed the documentation to provide an icon picture for the App Store here: https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev4b0ebb1bb?sub=dev3c7018a67.

"For macOS apps, drag the App Store icon to the Mac 512pt 2x well in the AppIcon image set."

So I provided the 512x512@2x pt picture file for the AppIcon entity of the Assets.xcassets in my project.

But I received a mail from Apple Connect saying:

Missing required icon - The asset catalog in the application bundle does not contain an icon of size 512x512@2x px. For further assistance, see the Apple Human Interface Guidelines at https://developer.apple.com/macos/human-interface-guidelines/icons-and-images/app-icon

The provided link didn't help me.

Reading every post speaking of that on StackOverflow, I tried many things:

  • recreate my 1024x1024 icon png picture
  • providing jpg
  • changing the name of icon picture file
  • checking that icon picture files were in xcassets
  • checking "Contents.json" file are not wrong
  • recreating the AppIcon entity in the xcassets
  • provide from 256 to 512 2x AppIcon spots
  • changing the name of my app

About 20 different attempts without success. Apple Connect is still refusing my submission with the same message.

Any idea?

did you check the app bundle to make sure they are there? - colinrf
Considering the fact you tried so many different things I don't think it's a solution, but I had issues with this as well. I am really annoyed that you need the same actual icon size multiple times (1024@1x and 512@2x). I usually create one icon per size (2048 down to 16) and drag them to where the actual size is required (the 1024 once for 1024@1x and once for 512@2x) - Julian F. Weinert
I check the xcassets bundle the check if pictures were there. They were. I also check the "contents.json" file in the folder representing the AppIcon entity. Nothing looking wrong. - Luc-Olivier
Your right Julian, that was the solution - Luc-Olivier

The solution was:

Provide each AppIcon size spot with icon picture files

I didn't do that as the documentation (as screenshot exposes it) put me in a wrong way as it doesn't show the AppIcon entity with all spot provided.
