Re: app icon for Launchpad
That's probably a Launchpad icon caching issue. I don't know where it used to cache icons though. Le 17 juin 2014 à 05:35, Roland King r...@rols.org a écrit : My OSX app has an icon. It shows in the dock when active, it shows on Alt-Tab, it shows in the Applications folder, however in Launchpad I get the generic OSX Application Icon. I'm using Images.xcassets for my icons (it's a fairly new project). What do I need to have for Launchpad to show the icon? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Nope - this is good ol 10.9.latest I also occasionally get it when a Mac has been running for quite a while (weeks or months with only “sleep” in between).

I did better, I deleted the application entirely, checked it wasn't in Applications for the Launchpad, it was not, then re-installed it from the installer which put it back in Applications, with an icon and back in the launchpad .. without one still. Launchpad doesn't like my app. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: app icon for Launchpad
Try it after building after changing the bundle identifier. Then the OS will see it as a different app. Sent from my iPhone On 2014/06/17, at 21:19, Roland King r...@rols.org wrote: Applications for the Launchpad, it was not, then re-installed it from the installer which put it back in Applications, with an icon and back in the launchpad .. without one still.

Todd We talked about rebooting earlier in the thread, that's long-since done, and there's a bundle version bump too with this build so that's done as well. Apart from that I just grabbed my wife's laptop which hasn't ever seen this app and hasn't even been turned on in 6 months, installed the app from the installer and .. there's no icon on Launchpad. I just rebuilt the Image catalog from scratch, same png files, same slots, new catalog, deleted the old one, pointed the app at the new one, now it seems to be working. I can only assume the old one was somehow corrupted. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
