Adding the iTunes artwork to your application

Test versions of your application should contain artwork iTunes uses to identify your application. Otherwise, when users add your application to their iTunes library, iTunes uses generic artwork for it.

The iTunes artwork your testers see should be your application’s icon. This artwork must be a 512 x 512 JPEG or PNG file named iTunesArtwork. Note that the file must not have an extension.

After generating the file of your application’s icon, follow these steps to add it to your application:

1. Open your project in Xcode.

2. In the Groups & Files list, select the Resources group.

3. Choose Project > Add to Project, navigate to your iTunesArtwork file, and click Add.

4. In the dialog that appears, select the ”Copy items” option and click Add.

Distributing Your Application to Testers

Before sending your application to a tester build it using the Release build configuration. You can find the directory containing your binary (and its corresponding dSYM file) by choosing Reveal in Finder from the application in the Products group in the Groups & Files list.

Remember to keep the binary and its corresponding dSYM file on your file system (copy them to a directory that contains a subdirectory for each build you’ve released to your teammates or to testers) so that they’re indexed by Spotlight.

Send your application binary and the tester’s provisioning profile to the tester. One way of accomplishing this task is by compressing these items and emailing them to the tester:

1. In the Finder, select the two files and choose File > Compress.

2. Name the archive <application_name> for <user_name>.zip. For example, MyTestApp for

Anna Haro.zip.

3. In the Finder, select the archive and choose Finder > Services > Mail > Send File.

4. In the body of the message make sure to include your application’s target iPhone OS release. If the tester’s iPhone OS version is earlier than the one for which your application was built, they will not be able to install the application on their device.
