I went to remove an old app from the market and it REQUIRED me to
upload a 512x512 icon before I could UNPUBLISH the app. At least I
have a heads up now to start making all these large icons before I
need to push any updates out for my other apps.

I was fortunate in that I'd already created 512px icons for a
different market. But yeah,
I(We) want to know a guideline
and it should be documented asap.
- just a high res icon? with black background? white?
- high res image with some additional
graphic enhancement compared to normal(low res) icon?
- image with some texts?
- like an ads banner?

You forgot to mention the required 1024 'feature' image as well,
whatever the hell that is!

I also dispute the whole notion of a 512px icon. By definition, an
icon is a simple image which looks good at a small size. Even if you
have the source graphics, an icon which works well at 48px is likely
to look stupid when upsized to 512px. /grumble
Perhaps this will help:

The featured 1024 is in case your app gets featured, obviously...
you are right, I am guessing.

There wasn't much notice, but there was an email that came from
Android Market Support that gave a maintenance window and a list of
changes to the market. I was also lucky enough to have designed my
icon at 1024x1024, which I then downsize for antialiasing. As for my
other apps, I guess I'll have
well, that's great, but it would be better to know what we are suppose
to put in these pictures (icon feature) and where it is going to
be used BEFORE making it mandatory.

Yes, we really need to know the actual size of the graphic when it's
viewed in order to figure out what to put in it. On my PC screen,
512x512 is HUGE and I could put a lot of detail in it, but if it gets
shrunk down to a centimeter or two on a side on someone's tablet
device, it's another story!
It very much looks like they blow anything smaller up to 512x512.
It'll look alike.

The problem is that a lot of small developers are not artists, so
requiring something that size won't ensure quality and Google might as
well just upscale the

Going back, I should have mentioned I was pointing at existing
releases. It would be rather rough if they kicked everybody out that
didn't produce and uploaded an 512x512 app icon in time for whatever
cutover is supposed to occur some time in the near future. Having said
that... the ensuing uproar
