cordova - How to add app icon within phonegap projects?

I created a new phonegap (v 3.0.0-0.14.0) project with default config.xml and then added iOS and Android platforms.

The config contains all the paths to all platform icons.

I have overwritten the default icons for iOS and Android so that path and name still matches those pngs.

When running in simulator the icons don't show up. I have looked it up in xCode where it tells me that the "Resources" folder for the icons still contains the phonegap default icons. Same with Android.

What am I doing wrong?

How can I add custom app icons for iOS and Android with phonegap?

thanks

my config.xml

<icon src="icon.png" />

<icon gap:density="ldpi" gap:platform="android" src="res/icon/android/icon-36-ldpi.png" />
<icon gap:density="mdpi" gap:platform="android" src="res/icon/android/icon-48-mdpi.png" />
<icon gap:density="hdpi" gap:platform="android" src="res/icon/android/icon-72-hdpi.png" />
<icon gap:density="xhdpi" gap:platform="android" src="res/icon/android/icon-96-xhdpi.png" />

<icon gap:platform="ios" height="57" src="res/icon/ios/icon-57.png" width="57" />
<icon gap:platform="ios" height="72" src="res/icon/ios/icon-72.png" width="72" />
<icon gap:platform="ios" height="114" src="res/icon/ios/icon-57-2x.png" width="114" />
<icon gap:platform="ios" height="144" src="res/icon/ios/icon-72-2x.png" width="144" />

<icon gap:platform="blackberry" src="res/icon/blackberry/icon-80.png" />
<icon gap:platform="blackberry" gap:state="hover" src="res/icon/blackberry/icon-80.png" />

<icon gap:platform="webos" src="res/icon/webos/icon-64.png" />
<icon gap:platform="winphone" src="res/icon/windows-phone/icon-48.png" />
<icon gap:platform="winphone" gap:role="background" src="res/icon/windows-phone/icon-173.png" />

Fortunately there is a little bit in the docs about the splash images, which put me on the road to getting the right location for the icon images as well. So here it goes.

Where the files are placed Once you have built your project using command-line interface "cordova build ios" you should have a complete file structure for your iOS app in the platforms/ios/ folder.

Inside that folder is a folder with the name of your app. Which in turn contains a resources/ directory where you will find the icons/ and splashscreen/ folders.

In the icons folder you will find four icon files (for 57px and 72 px, each in regular and @2x version). These are the Phonegap placeholder icons you've been seeing so far.

What to do

All you have to do is save the icon files in this folder. So that's:

YourPhonegapProject/Platforms/ios/YourAppName/Resources/icons

Same for splashscreen files.

Notes

  1. After placing the files there, rebuild the project using cordova build ios AND use xCode's 'Clean product' menu command. Without this, you'll still be seeing the Phonegap placeholders.

  2. It's wisest to rename your files the iOS/Apple way (i.e. [email protected] etc) instead of editing the names in the info.plist or config.xml. At least that worked for me.

  3. And by the way, ignore the weird path and the weird filename given for the icons in config.xml (i.e. <icon gap:platform="ios" height="114" src="res/icon/ios/icon-57-2x.png" width="114" />). I just left those definitions there, and the icons showed up just fine even though my 114px icon was named [email protected] instead of icon-57-2x.png.

  4. Don't use config.xml to prevent Apple's gloss effect on the icon. Instead, tick the box in xCode (click the project title in the left navigation column, select your app under the Target header, and scroll down to the icons section).
