While fixing this problem, I found quite quite a few people with the same issue in the list archives.
Problem: Want to change the document icon for an app. Success is indicated when the new icon shows in Finder windows, and in the title bar of document windows. Expected Steps: • Produce 1024x1024 MyDocument.png. • Produce from this a MyDocument.iconset folder. • Add the MyDocument.iconset file to the project's app target. • Change the string in Info.plist ▸ CFBundleDocumentTypes ▸ 0 ▸ CFBundleTypeIconFile to "MyDocument.icns". • Clean. • Build. • Verify that Xcode produced a MyDocument.icns file in Contents/Resources of the build. • Verify that the new CFBundleTypeIconFile was in the new Info.plist. Important, non-obvious step: • Delete any previous versions of the app. • Restart. I don't know where Mac OS X stores these icon refs. I couldn't find anything in the keys of ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. I suppose this is a system-wide thing, probably in /Library somewhere. Merely placing the new app version in /Applications and restarting is insufficient. Adding a Info.plist ▸ UTExportedTypeDeclarations ▸ 0 ▸ UTTypeIconFile does not help. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
